The 1794 "Starred Reverse" just discovered didn't take long to hit eBay!

There's no question in my mind that it will be "conserved" by the lucky winner. It looks to me like it could end up in the upper half of the condition census!

 

Here's the listing.

 

What do you guys think?

Wow, I saw the article in Coin World about someone finding a 1794 starred reverse cent. Is this the same one? I owned a 1794 large cent myself, but sold it about 2 months ago. Too bad mine didn't have those little stars on the reverse. The mint did carzy things in the early years. Why did they make 1 reverse die with those little stars hidden between the denticles?

It's also in the latest July 5 issue of Numismatic News. Amazing!

Funny. The coin does nothing for me.

Merc, it is indeed the same coin! I saw the Coin World article too, and a friend of mine alerted me to the eBay listing. In fact, he has bid / is bidding on it .

Jonathan, I guess I must agree with you on this one! It surely a rare piece but if you can't see it?? Then I can't even read the date on a dime with my glasses. I use a 10X loop to just try and find the mint mark!

I think that after the coin has been curated, the presence of the stars on the reverse will be more obvious!

Wow...$6,300.00! Wonder how many other AG3's could brag they did better! That has to be a record-breaker!
