post the copper

there are threads for stuff people just bought, their morgans, their barber, and several other things but i have yet to see one about old copper. i know coins well, but i am not the best with copper so want to see what people have and what it is graded/they think it grades. i am talking about indian heads and later.

nobody has old copper? i do not deal much with copper but i think it is more beautiful then most silver and gold

 

I prefer copper to silver or gold and have a lot of it, but nothing photographed at the moment. I also don't consider a numerical grade when I pursue a piece, so I have no thoughts there.

I love old coppers. No pictures yet, but camera is on the way.

 

easj, what's the grade on that flying eagle?

 

haha that is a good question, i have been meaning to send that coin out for a couple years but i always end up spending the money on some other coins/bullion and now im going to be buying a pistol instead. i personally think it is a au 58 but i am terrible at grading copper which is why i started this thread

 

it amazes me how well these ancient coins have held up. were they more bronze then copper or something else in the metal that didn't let them corrode as much? location of the coin maybe?

As soon as my camera arrives, I will be posting.

Here is one my old copper coins. Just don't ask me the grade, I'm not good at grading copper

Here are a few:











I know what they all grade (all are graded by PCGS), but I'll post that info a bit later.

Have fun...>Mike

 

Ok, ok, yeah, your 1798 cent is better than mine.

 

Beautiful, Mike. Thanks for showing them. Your 1857 Eagle is spectacular!
