I don't see it that way. At the time these were just circulating coins. The face value of these coins was a lot of money back then and few could...

[IMG] [IMG] If not for the hole, this one wouldn't have cost only eight bucks. Shouldn't be too hard to tell what it is...
Incredible coin! I see the die is starting to crack through the B in LIBERTY on your piece. Mine is a bit too corroded to tell die state, but it...
It does help that the 1797, 1 Above 1 has a narrower date than any other obverse die in the series. It's tough to see, but the date actually is...
Went to the Portland WCC show looking for early copper and Bust/Seated coinage. Saw this half cent at the end of a dealer’s case for $125. This is...
Absolutely. Large amounts of these were melted during the War of 1812. The price of copper went from 20 cents a pound to 80 cents.

Nice find although I think these have to be in UNC to be worth anything.
Top is a 140, bottom is a 124.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Just purchased this one unattributed and “dateless” a few days ago and it should arrive today. @Marshall hope this isn’t too...
Sorry but I'm pretty sure it's a common 140. The positions of E and R in LIBERTY are too close together to be a 124 or 125. :( This is my S-140:...
