1814 Large Cent 0

[Terence:)]

The corrosion on  this 1814 crosslet 4 large cent is pretty evident but I do like the details of LIBERTY and the ear/hair visibility. That said is the corrosion so far gone that this coin loses it value as a potential vg-8 or better? Thanks for looking!

The details are in the F12 or just under level, but the environmental damage is bad.  I would guess that it could get graded as VG details but I have no idea if the cost of slabbing could be recouped.  Much like the 1806 you posted this is a coin that is better left/sold/collected raw, just my opinion.

Thank you .... my basic thoughts as well just looking for confirmation. Appreciate the extra look Coinbuf!

Honestly, more like AG money to me.  From my experience, a cent this heavily corroded is one tough sell!
