1803 Cent Opinions Please

[WinstonWare]

I'm still new to copper so I wanted to ask the board what you all think of this one. I think it's a nice coin - well centered strike, smooth non-porous surfaces, and even chocolate color. But please let me know if there are things about the coin that you don't like. I'm still learning. Thanks! The scuffing is on the holder.

I'm sure you know more about copper than I do, but from what I see I like it. It has a nice dark chocolate color.

Nice original Draped Bust Large Cent. Perfect for your type set.

Very nice example for your set. I'd like to see it lit up a little more, but everything I'm seeing appeals to me.

Yeah, I played it pretty safe.

I agree Michael. Maybe I need brighter bulbs for my copystand.

 

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

Very nice looker.

Honestly, it looks recolored to me. But of course, that could be due to the imaging. And without intending to start a sticker war, a significant amount of early copper with stickers is recolored. I spoke with John Albanese for - I'm not exaggerating - half an hour on just this one subject.

 

But what matters most is that's it's a nice looking copper, and you like it. So, it should be a keeper!
