Liberty's coronet with LIBERTY, her profile and the curls are still visible, and ONE CENT inside the wreath is clear on the reverse. The date has worn away and both sides show heavy green corrosion (verdigris) and surface roughness from long exposure, with some copper showing through at the rims. An affordable filler or history piece, a fun coin to try to attribute, or a hands-on example of early U.S. copper. Please view all photos as part of the description. A Conservation Challenge Coin: This one is perfect for the collector who enjoys a project. Under the green verdigris there may be more detail waiting to be revealed — with patience and careful conservation, you might even bring back enough of the date to attribute it. A great practice piece for learning conservation techniques on genuine early American copper without risking a valuable coin. Sold as-is, exactly as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the series:\u003c\/b\u003e Large cents were the first coins made for circulation by the U.S. Mint, struck from 1793 to 1857 — each nearly the size of a modern half dollar. Early dates are attributed by Dr. William Sheldon’s die-variety numbers (S-numbers, 1793–1814) and later dates by Howard Newcomb’s (N-numbers, 1816–1857), with an R-rating for how rare each variety is.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul style=\"margin:10px 0;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMint:\u003c\/b\u003e Philadelphia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComposition:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eUngraded and uncertified unless stated otherwise; any grade mentioned is our opinion only.

The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1\/4\" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays. \u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"background:#f4f1ea;border:1px solid #ddd6c4;border-radius:6px;padding:14px;\"\u003e \u003cb style=\"color:#0f3d2e;display:block;margin-bottom:4px;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eRETURNS \/ GUARANTEE\u003c\/b\u003e We maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy.
