Message:: [QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 6330099, member: 92655"]Yeah, [USER=84179]@Oldhoopster[/USER] is right. Early copper is a different animal. And 1795 is a mighty tough date to boot...... I went after a 1794 last year and attended several shows in my hunt. I saw barely recognizable slugs that ranged from $800.00 to over $1000.00. By chance I was looking at one of our member dealers websites one day and he had an absolutely gorgeous 1794 that had a mildly pitted surface. The coin had full detail and even retained some mint luster. I now own her at $600.00 because it was deemed to have an environmentally damaged surface. Big score for me! I could give a hoot what the label said. It is a very pleasing coin...... I think it is easy to get caught up in published values and often with these early coppers, good deals can be had if you are willing to overlook a negative label. Good luck in your hunt.[/QUOTE]
