1809 C-4 R3 Half Cent graded by NGC AU55. NGC has only graded 6 with the highest graded as AU58. This has the repunched "0" in the date.

Really like the over date 1807/ 6

What were they thinking :-)

[DC Dawg]

I love those well worn coppers. It makes me wonder where they have traveled!

Michael..........Those cold and winter days and nights in New York are having some effect on you? I tend to agree with you though. (thumbs u

[RockMyAmadeus]

Can you imagine seeing hundreds or thousands of these at the mint, all bright, red, and brand new?

1802 Draped Bust Large Cent S-228 1/000 VF details

 

 

[DC Dawg]

1798 Large Cent. Not entombed in a TPG slab but nicely worn with a ton of character! I can only imagine who carried this beauty.

[michael]

the above coin is possibly a coin that the former prez of the usa thomas jefferson carried as a pocket piece as a rememberance of one of his children born in 1798

 

so as a secret rememberance jefferson took a 1798 large cent out of circulation and kept it as a pocket piece

 

of course after a few years he stopped carrying the piece and after he died well it eventually went unknown and today survives in your collection by the stars of serendip (serendipity)

 

with the only sure thing being it is from 1798 and a well worn pocket piece

 

if only the coin could talk what lust and forbarence could it tell

i love the overall look and eye appeal of this coin

 

the color/patina (a particular coloration of green on my monitor) looks like tiber river patina seen on some ancient bronze/copper coins buried for centuries in the banks of the tiber river in london in the muck that after hundreds and hundreds of years takes on this particular green coloration that brings a HUGE premium on ancients

 

and this coin has this and i love it

 

also a bonus is it looks like clean mark free matte surfaces and combined with this tiber patina makes this a great coin in my minds eye

 

to each his own and i love this coin

The most recent addition to the type set. Pardon the scuffy images. The early NGC holder has seen better days.
