Impossibly beautiful specimens! (Funny how I never noticed the "M" in AMERICA, as rendered, looks hauntingly familiar to the "M" in MACHT on the sign at Aushwitz.)

Quintus Arrius Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 On 9/23/2013 at 2:58 PM, wheat'swheats said: Now we copper collectors have a place to go. All copper is welcome Relying heavily on my negative-three Intelligence Quotient, which has been documented frequently and reliably by numerous accredited authorities, I feel confident in making the following outrageous assertion universally ridiculed by the experts: the reign of the Classic copper cent lasted only a half-century when a pair of wheat ears was substituted for a pile of stone. Any penny minted before the advent of the Lincoln cent is exempt from this condemnation for obvious reasons: with few exceptions they were made using real copper which produced an unmistakable authentic ring when dropped or spun on a smooth surface unlike the copper-colored mascara applied to the pseudo pennies of the past sixty years.

Look at the flourish on that 2 and the letters with definition! (No comparison with the generic, computer-generated fonts of today.) Thanks for sharing. First time I have ever been able to see one of these up close in over 50 years. Coin Cave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brg5658 Posted October 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 When I could buy one of these in MS69RD for less than the cost of slabbing, I caved. Call me a sucker, but I think the "W" cents are pretty cool. Cat Bath, robec1347 and Coinbuf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. A few years back the $1,000,000 question (the answer to which the contestant, I believe, did not know) on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," then moderated by Regis Philbin was: What was the first U.S. coin that bore the legend IN GOD WE TRUST? Your two-cent pieces are the finest examples I have ever seen up close. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you are stopped back in, I love 2 Cent pieces but only have the one in my 7070 set, a series that I'd like to explore more of but have not yet.
