Thank you Mark - your 1793 1C is pretty too. Sorry you have decided to sell your Fugio...
Well, if they have to be from the U.S mint, here is a 1793 1/2C:
Marshall, I am really glad both your coins are genuine, and that you can now sell them for maximum profit, and get the early coppers you want....
Very nice examples Collect89, and interesting write-up. I am afraid I cannot contribute to this thread either with examples, or intelligent...
Cheetah, this example of the same variety in my collection was also described by the auctioneer (Stacks) as having "somewhat glossy surfaces...
My kind of thread. Older issues are my favorite. Here are my two Massachusetts Pine Tree Shillings, large planchet and small planchet. Dated...
Nice coins, both. The MARS VLTOR reverse is very appealing. As Randy says, ROMA AETERNAE (eternal Rome) is nice too. Interestingly, a Roman...
Thank you Simms, that is interesting. I did not now about that symbolism. Richard was killed by an arrow shot by a defender of a besieged castle....
Doug, the top one is the one from the dealers website graded PCGS F15. The bottom one is mine. But more than a comparison between the two,...

I went to an auction in Franfurt a few weeks ago, where many interesting English coins were on offer. Had my heart set on some early English gold,...
Oh, and it seems to be a nice coin BTW, and I certainly hope it is real!
As best as I can see it seems to be the "Pointed 9, wide date, 13 arrows, arc stars" variety B-15. I used this site to attribute:...
I agree, I don't think you did bad at all, Prestonianus. Mine (also from eBay), has more detail but also a scratch, and I paid more..... I...
I DO! that is a very nice example, Kaz. An the clash mark adds to the appeal. Congratulations. 21-I, listed in Bowers book as URS-7. A scarce...
