S-282, VG10.
Lance.

 

An 1811 from the album. I think I have two 1811's, will have to visit it later.

 

S-287. Not the overdate, so only one die marriage.
Lance.

 

S-289, large date. Another that I'd like to upgrade. But it does have pleasant surfaces.
Lance.

 

S-293.

My plain jane album coin.

 

So do we have both types of the 1814 amongst us? Here's the plain 4 (s-295)....




As an aside, I can remember in another thread we discussed why the obverse of a coin tends to wear more quickly than the reverse. Here's an example of a coin that wore the opposite way, due to a lack of a rim on the reverse at striking -- an exception to that rule. The 1811 Mark posted a few coins up had the same characteristic. Just curious....

 

S-294, crosslet 4.

Do we take tomorrow off or jump right to 1816?
Lance.

 

Those are beautiful Larry and Lance!

 

Awww, what the heck, let's jump to 1816 tomorrow. Beautiful examples Lance, these Classic Heads are tough.

 

Here is the 1816 that is in the album for now.

 

Here is one of my 1816's.

 

N6, R2.
Lance.

 

Just one Eduard?

 

1816 N-5:



She's well-worn AND corroded, but I really like the look of this coin, personally, because of its originality.

 

Looks like a nice coin to me Leadfoot.

 

Thanks, I liked that coin the second I saw it. Like most of my decisions on coins, frankly. Either they speak to me or they don't. That one did...despite its "problems".

 

I have to wait another 38 days to post another large cent! I just got it today!
