A nice problem free early large cent...a very strong Liberty too. I like it very much. Bruce
Back then skilled workers made about a dollar or so a day (usually 10 or more hours a day) and unskilled less. That's when a cent had some buying...
The only distracting marks are the scratches, but still a nice coin. I would have bought it too. Bruce
I like your coin, Eduard. Chain cents are so unique and special that just having one is a great feeling. The good thing about them is that the...
I have a great interest in the Half Cent series. This one is a real beauty, Eduard. Bruce
I no longer have the collection...had to sell everything about 10 years ago. I still have my stock book though. I did have a 1794 VF-20 (B1 C1),...
I like them both...very much. I had a huge collection of Half Cents at one time including many Unc. Never had a 1793 though. Bruce

Most of these are counterstamped twice...one stamp on each side. Some though have a number stamped on the reverse in place of R. Thies. I've only...
Anything stamped on the reverse of the coin, Jevon? They sometimes have a random number added...no explanation for that one. Bruce

Sorry, Brian, were not getting a picture. Bruce
Thanks everyone, I spent a nice day with family so all is well. Bruce
I love this one, Circus. It gives you a choice. I'd probably pick the "To hell with it "side most of the time. Bruce
During a short walk at lunchtime I could walk past Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's grave, Carpenter's Hall and others and...
I love the Bourse token / medal, fretboard. I used to work right next door and walked through the building many times. They had an excellent...
Thanks, Frank. I'm in the process of moving so have been busy with all that stuff. Bruce
