    Hi Eduard, thanks for the comments, I have the dollar tagged as a BB-21, not sure if that is the same as the Bolender-1, but it is not a scarce variety.

    Here is another early coin: Washington Small Eagle cent, dated 1791.
    I believe these were minted in the UK though.

    Both are beauties. I almost played foot in mouth, though as I thought the leaf under O on the second coin was either a fake or new die variety. Then I noticed it said HALF instead of ONE.

    Silly me.

    I was going to say. Yes, gbroke's 1804 L1C is pretty, and a scarce coin too. The picture is not too clear, but it seems to be die state a or b, much scarcer than die state c (rim cuds on both obverse and reverse).

    Here is an 1804 L1C, die state C with rim cuds on both sides. Different die state than gbroke's coin.

    I suspect I shall never own an 1804 LC in any condition. These are great coins.

    Thanks, this has been in my family since 1804. I really need to send it to get graded, but I have never sent a coin, and I am nervous as all heck. :(

    lol, John Edward told me. Actually my Dad is a real nut for geneology, in addition to his interest in coins, he somehow knew that. I know for sure its been in our family since he gave it to me 4 months ago. :)
