I admire your example of this very scarce coin, as well as your dedication to this series. In fact, If I didn't like Large Cents and Early dimes...
Another coin which I never managed to adequately capture in pictures before. This is pretty much the way she looks in-hand. 1794, C-9, R-2....
She looks good! is that also an S-3, Mark? I think I see the 'leaning R'.
Thank you!
Thank you, Bruce. I was 28 when I got this cent from the Bowers & Merena sale of the Bebee collection. I was so excited and talked about it with...
In principle I agree with your observation - we coppers collectors should be proud of the collections we have put much effort (and money) into...

We'd love to see what you found!
Very nice 1794 half cent! 1793 half cents are quite scarce (but not rare), rated at rarity 3 (R-3). There are 4 varieties for the type, all are...
