I am partial to well-sculpted copper. And this one appears to have been minted before there was a Mint. Great piece! Edited April 27, 2021 by Quintus Arrius Missing word.

My pictures are awful and don’t do it justice. I usually depend on listing pictures and I forgot to save them for this one.

I seriously doubt I have seen a finer III-cent specimen at anytime, anywhere in the past fifty years. In fact, I never knew the three I's were, for lack of the proper term, "fluted" much like a column. The biggest mystery is why this coin did not qualify for a higher grading, particularly with the flawless reverse. Does not such a reverse deserve at least a plus (+)?

I looked for a while and this one stood out so I had to have it. The only negative is the small delaminated area under the date. If it wasn’t for that I think it would go higher.

I was more concerned about the muted letters in LIBERTY and a lady bug, or perhaps the head of a praying mantis protruding from the top of the first "I". I don't know if "delaminated" is the correct term used to describe the condition bedeviling the area beneath the date but I will graciously defer to those members whose knowledge of surface havoc greatly exceeds my own. Aside: The next time I receive a solicitation in the mail describing a coin as "sure to sit at the pinnacle of your impressive Registry Set," or "perfect for high-end collection/Registry Set," I will think of your magnificent gem.

I try to find them like that if I can. I can't wait until they are approved where they are PCGS. See if they bring me up a spot or two on the registry. I've made it to 185. I'm gonna try my best to place in the top 20. I'll never be able to make it to the top 10 because those guys have some serious coins. I wish they would share pictures of them. I'd love to see those beauties. Edited April 29, 2021 by Hoghead515 Woods020, Lem E and Mr.Bill347 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
