1833 N5 Double Struck with Obverse Brockage

 

Not the most beautiful but I like it for the re-punched date and the die crack connecting the stars.

 

An example of the last regular issue large cent, the 1857.



Here is the highest grade large cent I have, which is part of my type set.



And I suppose we should have a Chain Cent. I bought this one raw back in the late 1980s.

 

Friend found this in an early house he was dismantling. Pcgs called it 61 and cac liked it

 

Not my best but my favorite

 

66 bn cac

 

1798, it's the best I can do....

 

A couple of 1794s - my favorite date for early large cents.

 

Very nice coins!

 

They can’t all be gorgeous

 

Predecessor of large cent

 

Love your 1857!!

 

One I had awhile back. Didn’t fit in with anything and had the 66 brown cac. So I sold it

 

I agree. There are some of us that can't, or choose not to, spend the money for high grade coins. Don't misunderstand me, I'm really glad that some of you do. I love to see them. I love to see them saved for prosperity (I love history, so I love to see old things saved or preserved for future generations). But, I'm a "hobby" collector. I don't really have a budget. If I see something I like, and have money to spend on my hobby, at the time, I buy it. I had to look long and hard to find these 2 large Cents. I know the condition they are in, but I also know their dates, because they are legible. For my type set, that works for me. Yes, I'm different, lol. Please keep posting your amazing coins. I'm not the least bit envious, I'm happy, and I hope you are, too. Ok, here's the best I could do for the dates.

 

We seem to be the same type of collectors.
This is my 1801/1803 found wile Metal Detecting.
