[QUOTE="Omegaraptor, post: 24438507, member: 76105"]This one I posted on another thread, but I think it deserves its own. I believe I am up to 10 1796-98 Draped Bust Large Cents at this point, but in the 10 years I have been collecting I never went and bought a Draped Bust silver coin. Then I was offered this for $120. The coin is a bit beat up but the details were simply too nice to pass up for what is basically Fair-2 money.

They are quite a bit larger in diameter and thinner. Now that I have one of these I would love to see a 1796 in hand. The variety on this one is B-9. A common but visually interesting variety that develops a large bisecting obverse die crack in the late states. Hope you enjoy this coin.[/QUOTE]
