I'll refer to my modest collection as a "museum" if that's what it takes to accept this donation. And hey... it's tax deductible !
Darn good coin, johnny. I tend to agree with Mike - probably EAC 30ish.
Nice smooth surfaces on that one ! Nice work.
...and getting tougher. Early Date large cents and 1790s half cents are true toughies these days. Not to change the subject, but coins like your...
