Large Cent thread. Post one you really like.

[ldhair]

At a much younger age I wanted one of every date. That changed to buying varieties I just had to have. Next I just had to have one in MS and next a proof.

It's a sickness.

One i love

 

One i like a lot

[Schatzy]

Well......since I still don't have one, I thought I would post the one that got away.

I had my eye on this coin but the day that I was able to bid my computer crashed

and a long story short I didn't get my coin. What I was going to bid was more than

it went for. It went for $207!! Well the search continues till I find another one!!

 

1851 1C NGC MS63 RB

[bartlesvilleok]

These are the only 3 I have. To me the 47 is either under graded or the 54 is overgraded. What do you think?

 

1847 graded VF35 by PCGS.

 

1851 NGC AU55BN

 

1854 NGC MS62BN

 

[BillJones]

Sheldon 76b in PCGS MS-62 brown:

 

 

Sheldon 4, the Periods variety, in NGC VF-30. I grade it Fine-15, but what the heck, it's a Chain Cent.

 

[ldhair]

Very nice folks. I like this one too dooly.

[WinstonWare]

Great coin guys (thumbs u I bought this one from TomB and I like the patination on it...

 

[ldhair]

This one is special to me.

 

[Schatzy]

Very Nice Larry....I love the ones that have a little red color left!!

I hope I can find one like that some day!!

[RI AL]

Here are a couple that I haven't posted yet. Both are NGC 62's in sort of scratchy slabs.

Then there's this sad looking BOOBY, F-12 PCGS. My SILLY HEAD got BB'd, and rightfully so. Need to replace her. I call this pair, "my UGLY sisters".

I know it has details but this one is special because I have had it since I was about 13 years old. The corrosion is minor.

[prudden]

Here's my one and only.I'm hoping it grows on me. Pretty rough shape but my previous 1801 was basically slick and cleaned to copper color. Can't say I really like it.Not at this time anyway

 

 

[gpnyc]

Even given the low grade, I really like this '93 cent. I've had lots of opportunities to upgrade but just can't seem to part with it. Smoooooth chocolate....

 

[MikeInFL]

Some awful pretty large cents thusfar.

 

Here's one of my favorites:

And here's a '53 like Larry's:

The nice coins keep coming, and MarkT there is no reason to qualify your statements about the Classic Head large cent since all of these are tough! (thumbs u

[WinstonWare]

I bought this one from Hoot. Haven't heard from him in a while. Hope he's doing well...

 

[ldhair]

Really nice coins folks but we need more. This is the last cool image I have ready.

Fair warning. If the images don't keep coming in I'll be forced to post some really ugly ones.

I think at least 90 % of the coins I bought when I was a kid were cleaned , altered or damaged in some way ! There guy who sold me this coin also had a pet store in the same store – go figure !! I looked at that coin probably for days and then I gathered up the money to buy it. I had no idea it was corroded , heck I did not even know what corrosion was on a coin back then. You don’t see that many 1810/09 Large Cents for sale now , so at least I picked a good date .

[Mark T]

The scan makes the colors look different on the observe and reverse.

[ant]

that green been sticker sure stands out alot. wonderful coin! why did they stick the been so close to coin

[Bugmann1974]

My favorite in my collection.

 

[brwnprkns]
