This 1838 Coronet Head Large Cent is graded VF-20, showing moderate wear with the major design elements still well defined. The Coronet Head cent was struck from 1816 through 1839, representing an important transitional era in early American coinage. This example is attributed to die variety N-3, R-1 — a common variety by rarity scale, making it a straightforward collectible for variety enthusiasts and type collectors alike. At VF-20, the coin retains pleasing detail in Liberty's portrait and the reverse wreath, with even wear consistent with honest circulation use.

Coin Grading is Subjective, and should be treated as an opinion of grade. We use ANA Grading Standards as our Reference.
