My first 18th century buy

Got almost all of the 19th and 20th century stuff in my type set. Now I'm going for the 18th century.

A bit of a porous surface, but great detail. S-24 variety.

sweet coin.

 

porous, yes.

But very nice pick up

 

The details and the scarcity of the 1794 cent more than make up for the porous surface...I Think it's a terrific coin!!!

I'm putting together a new replacement 'Type Set' and I've recently purchased several 'colonials' and early cents...I'll see If i can post any file photos shortly..

davidh, please post some of your other examples...I'd love to see them!!

Of course, some of the earliest are so scarce and rare, I will never be able to purchase any...

 

Well, here are two examples I was finally able to download and post....

 

davidh, Do you have any Fugio examples yet??

 

That's a really awesome piece of history, and a nice looking coin as well. I don't mind the surface at all. Something old should look old, you know?

 

Wonderful coin, the variety is also known as the apple cheeks variety!

 

She does look like she is about to speak with her mouth full LOL...(RE: apple cheeks)

Seriously though, I haven't heard that designation before---but i may be having a 'senior moment' again and simply have 'forgotten' LOL

 

As soon as I get my camera setup working right I'll be posting a lot of what I have.

 

I have a "Copy" of one, but not a real one.

 

Here's another one I just picked up. I should have it in a few days.

 

Beautiful pickups David. The porosity doesn't bother me a bit, still plenty of meat there.

 

I like it despite the porosity; these are tough to find when attractive. I also like the early 19th century pick-up as well.

 

Fantastic example davidh!!! it appears to grade as high as an AU---the hair lines clear and pronounced and little, if any, obvious circulation wear...phenomenal find!!

Doubtlessly, you will have one incredibly impressive 'Type Set'

 

NIce looking coppers!
