These are my own custom elongated coins. I had the dies made and coins rolled out by Cindy Calhoun of "Cindy's Cents", who is president of TEC...
As well she should! But now you can never move!
PS- I called ladymarcovan over to look, and she said "wow", too.
That is next-level cool!!!
Wikipedia has a very brief overview.
Yes, if you submitted that for grading, you'd be spending $30-35+ to grade a ten-cent item.
Mine is too, but was actually struck much later (ca. 1902, as mentioned). But I think his probably is from 1837, or thereabouts. Which is what...

Mine was 150 bucks more. $189 with free shipping. Which I still thought was a good deal for an AU53.
I don't know, offhand. The Wikipedia article about them doesn't go into much detail on that. I'm sure it was mostly New York, but given the...
This one is free of major problems, but is weakly struck on the obverse, affecting the upper portion of the legend as well as the eagle's head....
This one has an old hairline scratch near the 12:00 position and some small marks, particularly around the eagle's head, but is otherwise a...
