Here is another early copper that I recently picked up. She’s worn but these classic heads don’t come up in my area very often.
With the war and terrible quality planchettes I’m amazed that any survived. I passed on a 1813 with good details that has a rim ding.
Absolutely. Large amounts of these were melted during the War of 1812. The price of copper went from 20 cents a pound to 80 cents.
