Well… The old back seems short lived on concrete floors these days…. But I did brew up a love affair with this old large cent. Just loved the strike on this one. And found an old holey reale for @lordmarcovan holey hat.
Wow, that’s not exactly a small space, either! Nice grab, Randy. i’m envious, since I am presently lacking a Braided Hair large cent type coin in my current collection. My past best of the type was also a PCGS MS63 BN like yours: Thanks in advance for the holey for my hat.
Where was this show? Was this the one in Camden? I saw a couple of emails from the SCNA about it, but it was too far of a drive for me.
Love how the camera captured a lady in mid-hair flip pose. One could imagine instead that she was stressed, and clutching her hands to her head. That, or there’s a 1913 Liberty nickel, an 1804 dollar, and an MS66 Chain cent in the case there, and she’s just reacting in amazement.
Sweet pick up, Randy! You made me look at my registry set to see what I have filling that hole. I have an 1850 in this type.
The hall was starting to get warm about that time. I would suspect she was probably about to tie her hair up on her head..... Though it does leave one to wonder....
Great strikes are my deal. I couldn't care less about die pairings or VAM's and have little regard for rare dates. But a solid crisply struck piece with flat fields will draw me in every time.
Nice large cent. Hope it didn't break the bank. Thought you were a seated guy? I bought my first Capped bust quarter today, a bit out of my realm.
I’m not in tune to large cent prices. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked it up on PCGS and saw that I paid $125.00 less than they valued the piece at.
