    My US pieces only go back to 1819, but my oldest is also a rare die variety.

    I love this dollar, but nice as it is, it's not as interesting as some of the previous posts! 1799 $1 NGC VF35 CAC composite.jpg

    This low grade and corroded 1793 Chain Cent is one of my oldest U.S coins.
    In spite of it not being perfect, It still occupies a special place in my collection:)

    Thank you very much:)
    The Fugio and 1795 F.H Dollar are also very appealing, (is that a B-1?)

    Can anyone offer a grade for this coin (lettered edge)?

    I want to believe it's F12, but can't quite make the argument.
