Thank you, Leadfoot - it is a nice coin, only the color is a little too uniform, I wonder if it has been recolored at some point. Here a few...

Here are some of mine - I apologize for the poor pictures:
Both of those old buddies of mine suffer from imperfections (corrosion), but still have enough appeal to merit my love.
Some more of my old friends:
Some really beautiful coppers posted so far in this thread! Here are some more of mine:
Yes, that is correct. The Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins actually calls it "with the 1 sharply double struck". Easy way to...
Beautiful coins, All. Love early U.S coins. But that 1811/09 is my favorite. Not only is the state of preservation excellent, it is also an...
kookoox10, your 1798/7 overdate is a Sheldon 151. Rarity 3+. The field Chip below left ribbon is typical. Your example also shows the arc-like...

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...
And some more: The 1795 is one of the lettered edge varieties (S-75)
Here are some of mine.
