[QUOTE="CoinMedic, post: 1728188, member: 46447"]Hello everyone! My grandmother informed me that she had a few "very old pennies " that she found while cleaning out her old safe. As she was handing me the coins, I quickly identified them as large cents :D. Immediately, the possibilities started racing through my head. As I further examined the large cent, I saw the 1804 date. I really can't explain in words how excited I was to be holding such a rare date. She also gave me a beautiful, chocolate-brown 1794 liberty cap. She said that she had more of them hidden in the cellar somewhere, but she gave these to me for now. I brought the 1804 to my local dealer to get his opinions. He concluded it was real, and offered me $400 on site for the 1804. I would never sell it, but I think he was low-balling the offer. The 1804 LC is an honor to own; but honestly, there is just something about the 1794 liberty cap that I really love. The eye appeal is truly a beautiful. If anyone has Sheldon information on either coin, it was be greatly appreciated; however, I think I can narrow it down for the 1804.. LOL[/QUOTE]
