Picked this up today. 1798 large cent, Sheldon 170 (so I've been told), Style 2 hair Excuse the "dust". Be assured I dusted it properly before sealing it in its airtite capsule.
A little dust never hurt nobody. Looks like this piece worked for a living. And now it resides in your collection......think of how many hands touched it.
Word is that Thomas Jefferson bought a couple of beers at the local pub with this coin. His credit card was rejected.
