Interesting. Not knowing much about IHCs, is this considered as scarce/rare as the 1887/7 variety? or the 1873 double liberty?
I looked very long for a Vermont Landscape copper, until I found this one that I liked: Ryder-8 variety, Vermontensium.
Here is a middle date 1823/2. The picture is quite poor (sorry). The coin is better in-hand. If anybody can attribute the Massachusetts Indian...
Nice coin, and as you say, not common in that condition. Congratulations. The date itself does not appear scarce as they do come up - I have 3,...
coppermania, very nice mexican centavo you have there. Beautiful coin. ikandiggit, that Braunschweig coin is also very nice.
I would take the gold because I have all of the others (besides that 1839/6 cent - that one is quite tempting too!). BTW, that is an interesting...
There are some really nice coins in this thread. Nice to see so CT'ers appreciate the old coppers. I don't have many new ones (at least worth...
I agree the Caligula and Claudius denarii are quite a bit scarcer than those of Nero. Everytime one shows up in an auction here in Germany the...

Technically, you are right. But I wasn't trying to be too exact. Their appeal, to me, is exactly what you mentioned: that they were the first...
These are my oldest U.S coins. Both Massachusetts shillings. A large planchet Pine Tree...
Interesting perspective. The 1809 dime was recognized as scarce already 30 years ago (or much longer). Over the last few years, however, it has...
I understand what you are saying, JCB, and in my opinion that is the best reason to collect coins: their HISTORY and the bridge they provide to...
I have absolutely no doubt that 1794 large Cent is genuine. The question is which variety? I have seen that hair style before and will take a...
Thank you, Leadfoot and Conder for verifying this. Definitely one of my better 'cherry picks'. Eduard
I Like it too. And the picture is not bad either, (I wish I could take such photos).
Thank you very much for your input, Conder101. Much appreciated. I am certainly please with this find. I only have one other R5+ in my copper...
Medoraman, there is a good discussion related to this topic in this thread at another forum which I visit occasionally:...
