Want to share

Hi Gang,

I wanted to share my newest purchase. This is a 1853 Large Cent. Not bad condition for 159 year old coin.

Hey Dave. Thanks for sharing. Sharp looking large cent with a nice reverse.

 

Thanks Jason. Just can't help myself when it comes to old type coins.

 

Nice looking, Dave, but what does "TNEC ENO" mean?

Chris

 

Nice pickup.

 

Ha ! Ha ! Chris. Glad to see we have some comedians online.

Dave

 

Very attractive coin except for the little bit of stuff just above the 3 and to the left of the 8. Could this be improved with some acetone? I know some people are really gun-shy about using acetone on copper, but would it be worth a try in this case?

 

Last time I checked, xylene is recommended for copper, or olive oil. (Don't take this for fact)

 

It means "Go stand on your head!"

 

Chris, I believe it says this:

I'll save ya Dave.........





Marvelous pickup.....
