Another C Nova in a bit better condition, and with I believe a planchet clip. (Inspected the side and it looks pretty clean)

 

1801 Large Cent, oldest silver, 1818 Half Dollar.

 

3 way tie on oldest silver

 

Bill, may need to pick one of those up from you in a few years or so.

My oldest US silver came from mainebill coincidentally, in the form of a beautiful 1807 Half.

 

Wouldn't mind an upgrade myself on the half. Is a nice original one but would love to bump it to ch vf or xf. The flowing hair dollar is a real tough die variety too i think only 6 graded at pcgs so that'll be ahard one to upgrade. I need a off center bust and a 3 leaves to complete my 1795 dollars tho. And a 1794!! Maybe when you finish school and are making tons of money you might get one first

Oldest US Silver: XF40 O-102 Capped Bust Half




Oldest U.S. Copper: 1818 Large Cent




Oldest US Gold:

 

Oldest gold. Surprising I don't have much real early here but I never focused on the gold like I do silver and copper that and the stuff I like is so darn expensive

 

Can I cheat? This is a restrike.. oldest date, but not really the oldest

Or if I cannot cheat that way, can I cheat with a counterfeit struck in America? Machin's Mills piece.



No? How about a MA Cent?


Won't let me do that either? OK, fine, it's this one:

 

Like that dirty look on your half. Your $1 VF30? Light adjustment marks in the hair give it a cool appearance IMO. Nice!

 

Would love to pick up a nice 94 half one day. Thanks for sharing!

 

Half is ok vg 8 like to up it to vf or better a nice original. Dollar vf 30 you got it been dipped and has retoned some. B2 bb20 not a real common one Draped bust f details enviro damage due to the black spots. Is now raw actually a nice original surfaces one

 

I would eventually like to upgrade my half as well. VF is the grade I prefer when it comes to these early halves & dollars as well.

 

I agree tho I've seen some f-15 coins I like as well or better then some higher grades. As everyone here knows I'm a total surface and color fan. Lately I've been more focused on my trade dollar set and just filling in some of the common stuff for my type set. What I really want is a nice chain cent in problem free g-vg

 

That looks extra special

 

Can't post. Mine is a 1910s lincoln cent
