Large Cents
for your consideration:
| 1794 Large Cent PCI F-15 Porous | |
| Description: Head of 1794. Actually appears to be VF or better in terms of wear, with even the highest hair curls showing detail. However, it is porous, as noted on the slab. Luckily, it appears that nobody has ever tried to clean this cent with the hopes of improving it, so the color is a very even, original brown. The scan did not come out so great, but it gives some idea of the condition of this old cent. | |

| 1794 Large Cent SEGS EF-40 Mild Corrosion | |
| Description: The slab notes that this coin has "mild brown corrosion". What this translates to is that the coin has an attractive even brown color with a little bit of roughness in the field. Pleasing eye appeal. The slab also notes that this is the Sheldon-63 variety (also known as Breen-37). What all that means is that this is the popular 'Fallen 4' variety, which is very obvious without any magnification. The 179 of the date slopes up to the right, while the 4 is much lower and a bit crooked. The word liberty is far to the right with the letter L further from the cap than on any other variety. William Noyes lists the condition census as EF-45 and up, while Breen lists coins from EF-40 and up. Head of 1794. | |

| 1821 Large Cent PCI EF-40 Porous | |
| Description: The PCI holder describes this coin as corroded but it is not. It suffers from a case of light, even porosity. The color is excellent, even chocolate brown, more even in appearance than it looks in the image provided. The 1821 is the key date for this era with a mintage of only 389,000 pieces at a time when mintages were averaging 1 to 3 million. Very decent eye appeal. | |
