<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 4492648, member: 8959&quot;]The last 12-15 months have been the most interesting and rewarding in my 30 Year+&nbsp; EAC collecting journey.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over this time period, I was first able to add a very nice 1800 Draped Bust cent, variety Sheldon-205, Rarity-4, a fortunate eBay find which would be difficult to repeat.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1114671[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a few months later, I made what is, and will probably forever remain the best (and luckiest) find I ever made in my Early Copper collecting journey: a 1766 William Pitt Farthing. A very scarce and historical coin/token which is currently rated Rarity-6, with about 25 examples known. It is now coin # 13-15 in the latest census of this rare issue.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114672[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A little later, in September 2019 and purely by chance, I &quot;discovered&quot; in <b>my own </b>collection a very rare 1837 Feuchtwanger Cent, Variety 3-D which is currently rated Rarity-7, which had lain dormant in my collection since 1986. I say &quot;discovered&quot; because I originally put this coin aside as part of a large lot purchase, and never paid much attention to it for over 3 decades until then. That was really a major surprise!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114673[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This very nice 1794 Liberty Cap cent turned up a short time later: A pretty and well detailed Sheldon-28, rarity-2, one of the more appealing &#039;94 busts in my opinion. I had been wanting to expand my collection of 1794&#039;s and this was just the type of coin I was looking for. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114674[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, just a few months ago in 2020, this 1794 cent, variety S-45 turned-up unattributed at auction. Sheldon-45 is very rare, sharing a reverse with NC-6 and is considered to be a rarity 5+ variety. This example is considered to be in the top 3-5 examples of this rare variety.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114675[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if I possibly sound a little exhuberant <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />... but a Copper Collectors heart could hardly be happier. And, please, do not hesitate to post those finds which have given you the most satisfaction in the recent past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
