Peter Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi all The attached coins I have picked up over the years and would appreciate assistance on grade,variety and value (red book?) I've left the grades as AG until the forum advises otherwise. Although predominantly a UK Copper specialist the large cents have an appeal to me ....I suspect it is due to the shape and feel being similar to George 1 copper Thanks in anticipation http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=934173 http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=902528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Those are some nice looking coins I love copper of any grade or any kind. These figures all come from the 2008 Red Book. For the first Liberty Head 1847 I grade it AU-50 with a price of $120.00 The 1855 I grade it MS-63 with a price of $275.00 Hope that helps..............Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Wow Peter! Those are beautiful coins. They certainly do deserve a very good grade like Doug gave them. None of the few large cents I have are anywhere near the quality of yours. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thank you Korky and Doug. I grade conservativly and there is wear on both coins (albeit slight on the 1855) so I was thinking along the lines of NEF & EF. Both coins though have great eye appeal. I would add that the total paid for the coins was £9 & £14 respectivly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbvenman Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I agree with your more conservative grades, but excellent buys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectin_coins Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Fantastic buys. I would say the 1855 grades AU-55 minimum from the pic, ANA standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
