@Matthew Kruse - your Lord Marcovan elongated cent is a Type 1B- the Type 1 variant with no hole. Which, in retrospect, is kind of ironic,...
Sure, I enjoy it when people do, but it ain’t like a requirement or anything! :eek:
None of my coins are “hold for eternity” pieces, though I do have two from my 1970s childhood collection and all of my 1992-2014 detector finds.

Oh- and enjoy the holey collecting! It’s a lot of fun and usually inexpensive (unless you start going for Seated and Bust dollars and gold)....
I’ll send you the 1851-O and you can send me whatever you think is fair as a swap (maybe something I can put in the giveaway pool). I was going...
This is very true.

Aha. Thank you. I wondered about that, because, as you say, the fine detail is well done, so it's no mere tourist trinket. Even if it's a...
@DEA - your goodies have shipped. I missed the Tuesday AM post-holiday carrier pickup, but they'll be on the move Wednesday AM.
Ooh, thank you! :)
It's quite handsome. I can't help you at all with identification, but hey, it's nice.
Some of y'all might remember @Eric the Red 's very generous giveaway of proof and mint sets back in April. Well, for some reason, not long after...
