1794 large cent. How would you grade this?

[Dene]

Had this for awhile and I know it's porus, but just wondering what grade you think it would be.

reverse

I'm not 100% sure if that would be considered environmentally damaged or corroded, but as far as giving it a grade, I would say G-6

Cool coin

 

What does somethhing like that value at ?

[Dene]

I've been offered $800.00 for it. I Had at one time a complete collection of large cents except for the 1793 chain. Sorry I sold it. This coin I bought for $25.00 about 5 years ago. I have another 74 that I found metal detecting but not in as nice as condition as this. I would grade this at VG-8

I've been offered $800.00 for it.

 

Is this about the average of one of these in this condition? Mine is also corroded but seems to be a bit less worn. (weak reverse is on par for the variety.)

i grade it $475.00

If you can get $800, DO IT!

 

I would catalog the coin as G-4 details, EAC 3. It looks like VG details because that obverse is a "shielded hair" variety, which causes the obverse to always look a grade higher than the reverse.

Well the gentlemen came over last night and gave me a check for $800.00. I expected maybe a offer of $400-500 at most but no complaining.

Sharpness grades Obverse VF-20, Reverse Good 4. Net grade because of environmental damage, Good-4.

 

If you can get $800 for that coin, grab it!
