    1838 Large Cent.
    It is not encapsulated, but it does not need it: it should grade 64 RB or very close

    Here is an 1801 IHC. It should grade 64 or 65 BN.

    Lastly, an example of a "very early" MS BN bronze: this one a Roman dupondius of the emperor Titus minted in the first century a.d.
    It comes as close as one can hope to get, as far as roman bronzes of the 1st century is concerned, to a mint state coin.

    Even though I started it, I have to agree! I'm getting to see some absolutely gorgeous copper out there, especially in other types of coins that I don't normally come across, especially ancient coins that I didn't even know came in bronze or copper. I'm so glad you are all showing off all your beautiful pieces.

    I really like these tokens. Are they hard to obtain?
    What is the price range for these? I am seriously considering looking into these,in the near future.

    That's a nice one. Everybody says "original surfaces"; this one actually is. A little mint red, some cartwheel... yep, that's the real thing, right there.

    Looks like a 64 but definitely BN.

    I think you're right on the BN designation, but here's what I love about this coin...

    Who cares if they call it BN or RB ?

    The coin is what it is. Wonderful, hard surfaces. Lovely original color. Some subtle mint red.

    Of all the things on a slab, the color designation means the least to me, and this thread shows why. Fabulous coins designated BN with plenty of color.

    Thanks for the help Charmy.

    You looked at this coin in Ontario at my table, but obviously it missed catching your attention. I really do need a better way of showcasing my color coins.......

    if this slipped by you, it slipped past my show customers as well.

    :hug:
