With the 1798&#039;s there is not one known to have a 1/100/000 corrected fraction so what you see is probably corrosion or a ding. If it is a corrected fraction then it&#039;s a one-of-a-kind. If you will post a pic, I can tell you what variety it is and then you&#039;ll know what it is fer sure. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to me and what I collect, I&#039;ve been building a DBC collection, along with the earlier pre-federal &amp; state issues. I&#039;ve got 4 Virginia Pennies, 3 Fugios, 5 Connecticut Cents, 9 New Jersey Cents, 2 Massachusetts Cents, and various Colonial issues (English, French, Spanish) and 4 1783 George Washington Tokens (post dated tokens minted around 1820-40), 1781 North American Token, 1788 Barbadoes Penny, 1792 Kentucky Starry Pyramid Token, 1793 Bermuda Penny, and a 1794 lettered edge Talbot, Allum &amp; Lee Cent. I also have a few older foreign coppers that I thought were kewl to include in my collection, and then there is my tiny LBC collection, which is 1 1794, 2 1795&#039;s and 1 1796 and all are well circulated but attributable. My DBC collection is only about 30% complete but it&#039;s a work in progress and I keep buying the state issues, then don&#039;t have money left to buy ones I need for my DBC collection, but I get what&#039;s available at the time that are reasonable since I&#039;m not rich. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I started my collection in April so I&#039;ve not done bad but now it&#039;s getting harder to find ones I don&#039;t have, although I am missing a lot of the more common varieties, since I figure I can pick those up anytime or sometimes I&#039;ll pick up a common one in a group or when I misattribute one :kewl: which is very easy to do with the lousy Ebay pics sellers normally post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: Welcome to CoinTalk. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
