The value of an 1826 one-cent coin, also known as a Coronet Head Large Cent, depends heavily on its condition (grade).
Here’s a general overview of its value based on different grades, as referenced by the [JM Bullion Red Book]:
- Good: $25
- Fine: $100
- Extremely Fine: $1,000
- Uncirculated: $1,500
Keep in mind that:
- These are approximate values and actual prices can vary based on market conditions and the specific dealer or auction.
- Coins with specific varieties, like the 1826/5 overdate (N-8), can fetch higher prices. Early die states of this variety are particularly sought after, displaying a clear “5” beneath the “6”.
- Coins certified by reputable grading services like PCGS or NGC often command higher prices due to guaranteed authenticity and condition.
- A coin’s eye appeal, strike quality, and any toning or blemishes can also influence its value.
- You can find information about the survival estimates and rarity of the 1826 large cent on [PCGS’s website].
- [NGC’s website] provides details about different varieties of the 1826 Coronet Head Cent.
Important: It’s always best to have your coin professionally graded to get the most accurate valuation.
