<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sundance, post: 436636, member: 15863&quot;]Hello there!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have been coin collecting for years now, since I was 16 and have recently gotten into the old coppers. There is something about holding something that someone almost 300 years ago touched. I, sadly, can&#039;t afford the high end &#039;gem&#039; pieces (though I do drool over them on eBay and what not) but I make do. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Right now the pride of my copper collection is a 1798 Liberty Bust Cent. This little &#039;lady&#039; had been sitting in my favorite coin shop for a while and I would go in and fawn over it. It isn&#039;t the *ahem* &#039;prettiest&#039; piece, it&#039;s a bit worn from use on the bust...but what I love is the back! There is a die clash running along the bottom of the coin...and 1/100 fraction on the bottom was once a 1/000 but with a 1 restamped.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am currently hoping to win a few bids on eBay for a 1794 Liberty Cap. That one is like the one coin I have wanted for a long time now and have saved to hopefully win it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyways, I wanted to get to know everyone here...and get to know other copper collectors :high5:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Happy collecting <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
