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

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

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.

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

Fantastic buys.

I would say the 1855 grades AU-55 minimum from the pic, ANA standards.
