Post an Orignal Looking coin.

[MikeInFL]

Here are a few coins I consider original. First, a Randall Hoard Large Cent as original as they come:

 

 

 

Next a completely original Kennedy half (I can trace this coin's storage from 1965 to date as it was part of my Grandfather's collection):

 

Lastly, an original and crusty capped bust half:

 

 

Have fun...Mike

What great coins! Those Lincolns and that Indian Head nickel...

 

I think this one is original. I could be wrong. If so, educate me to it, please!

I don't know if this helps you at all, Mike, but if your CBH looks like I think it does in-hand, then I would have no problem spending my own money to obtain it.

MikeKing- The bust is beautiful. What a state of preservation! I'm no one to be educating anyone. I do know coins of that era were stored/protected in many encasements that used chems we're not familiar with today. Therefore many color combinations resulted, if done today could be considered AT. I don't.

Mike, you count me as another admirer of your bust half. I much prefer yours to the white ones that look like they were recently minted.
