1812 Small Date (S-290) NGC XF details/corrosion.
|
|
Fairly heavy corrosion roughens up the appearance from either side, which is too bad since the details remain tantalizingly sharp at the commercial XF level. Dark on the obverse, with a little better... |

1812 S-289 Large Date, PCGS AU-58.

As a type, the classic-head large-cent series provides a challenge, considering how often they show up with hideous surfaces. Here is a trio with something to offer, and each is attributed as... |

1812 (S-288) "large date" VF details/cleaned/obverse scratches.

1812 small date (S-291, R.2) PCGS VF-30.
|
|
Strong flowlines dominate the texture, and suggest Breen's die-state III, and for that matter, most of the denticles are positively mushy even taking into account the off-center strike. Despite the... |

1812 Large Date (S289, R-1). AU details/recolored .
|
|
1812 is often the best choice as a classic head type coin, since that date represents the best odds of finding the type with decent surface quality. This example provides a wealth of sharpness in the... |

1812 Large Date (S-288, R-2) AU BN.

Planchet quality is much better than average for a classic head, with 1812s generally less troubled than other dates in this series. The obverse is nearly perfectly smooth except for a small rougher... |

1812 Small Date (S-290, R-1). AU details.

Chemical treatment of the surfaces to reduce the ill effects of porosity has resulted in a mottled reddish-brown obverse and an inconsistent olive-green reverse. Sharpness is actually not far off... |

1812 S-289, Net VF

This is a very appealing large cent, despite some issues. It appears to have been smoothed long ago, and a few very tiny pits are present. The detail grade exceeds the XF grade requirements, the... |

1812 S-290, XF+
