62 Days of Large Cents

Here is an 1795 lettered edge variety. S-75, Rarity 3.

What looks like wear in the center of the wreath is actually typical of the variety per Breen, caused by 'foreign matter' adhering to the reverse die in the area around one cent. The strike and planchet are otherwise quite nice.

Yeah, these earlier dates are a monster, even for the most seasoned collectors. I have my 1798/7 I'm going to repost, I just have to re-image it. Beautiful examples Lance.

Come on people, let's see some Draped beauties!!

 

I can't keep up because I'm not home every day. Anyways, here's my 98. Looks rusty thanks to the scan, but it's actually smooth and better in hand:

 

Before going onto the DBCs, here is another 1795: S.76b, R-1

 

Sorry, this 1797, S-124 is definitely not a beauty, but at R-5+ for the variety I am not complaining.

 

Here is a 1796 DBC - I forget right now which variety it is, but it is one of the more common ones for the year.

 

Dang, Eduard! If you ever decide you hate coins, I'll take you large cents. Nice stuff.

I'm with you, I like that S-124. :thumb:

 

Hey Thank you, Guy.
It's amazing what one accumulates over the years. I collect quite a few different numismatic areas, but large cents (or better said, early US coppers) is one of the one which gives me the most satisfaction.

 

1796 Liberty Caps

 

Here is my 1798, 2nd hair style, S-174

 

I like that, one of the more common ones. That may be, but common in one of the more difficult years to find is not too common.

 

This is an S-112, rated R-4

 

1796 Capped Bust Variety S-82, R-5-.

The surfaces look a little lifeless and drab after a coat of varnish was removed, but the level of detail is still nice.

 

This one is an S-103, R-4+. Small edge bump.
Popular LiHerty variety.

 

This one is an S-105 R-5.

Terrible pictures of a scarce coin in good condition.

 

And a last one: 1796 S-102, R-4. This one from Shawn Yancey.

 

Today is 1799, the only year I'm missing (well, besides 1815).

Hope to see one posted here!
Lance.

 

Are we up to 1799 already?

I still have all of 1797 and 1798 to go through, but, like you, will have to skip 1799.......

 

Not the quality of Lance's or Eduards coins, but it makes me happy. At this point I only need two varieties to complete the dansco album. Of course the chain and 1804 will stay in their holders.

One picture to show the coin:

And one to better show the picture:
