I was just using it to test out a lighting setup for my camera. That’s a good looking Cohen 3 (R.1). You can tell it is a C-3, because the 2 is punched low in the date, and the leaf tip in the wreath of the reverse sticks just a little past the last S in STATES. 1828 is a fun date. The C-2 only has 12 stars, as the die makes apparently just forgot to punch it. The missing star is on the right side of the obverse.

Popular Post Lem E Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 (edited) I just bought this one a few days ago. I am fairly new at attributing these large cents, but I believe it is a N-12 / Die stage (B). That would put this as an R-1. This was done solely based on the seller pics and I will have to confirm once I get the coin in hand. **EDIT** N-12 confirmed.

Popular Post The Neophyte Numismatist Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 (edited) I posted about this coin in another thread where I was trying to make up my mind. The coin finally came-in! Very excited to have this one in my date set. I tried to capture all the die rust, showing this to be a later die state, however, this coin still exhibits some denticles on the obverse/reverse. Early die states are fairly rare and expensive. The small white speck at K-10 is on the holder not the coin. Ex. C. Douglas Smith Ex. G. Fitzgerald Ex. Stacks 1975 Ex.

Thanks @Quintus Arrius. I specifically mention denticles here, because 1807 is usually found without them. The 1807 is not rare, per se. There is only one variety of this coin. Early die states are what many copper collectors are looking for on this date. This coin is not EDS, so happy to have anything at all. @Just Bob I am super happy with it. It is so much better in hand, and the dealer's pictures were actually not the best. The planchet is not quite as dark as the dealer pictures made it out, and actually there is still a pretty nice luster on this coin. The die rust spots are obvious and rough, but the rest of the coin has very smooth surfaces. Yes, very happy . My biggest problem is that I want everything, and I can be seduced by a coin that I really like, but don't "need". This was one I "needed", so there is also a self satisfaction in my own self-discipline (and thanks to the forum for assisting me there ).

Coinbuf Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 She does look better I think, while nothing can help the areas that have been damaged from the active crud that was on the coin; removing it now will keep it from eating into the surfaces any farther.
