<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2045182, member: 58633&quot;]I agree that the 1798 large cent is probably the best deal for a 1700&#039;s dated American coin. They made a lot.</p><p>&nbsp;You need the patience of a saint on Ebay. Not only does everyone expect top dollar for their crud, but even coins from $500 to $1500 can be flawed, &quot;details&quot; coins.</p><p>&nbsp;You can find nice examples in the $500-$600 range, but be patient! For me, at that price, I want a clean coin, with no major flaws, such as scratches, corrosion or cleaning. And, with these old hand press coins, one side is often weaker, or there are weak areas. No rim, off center rim, and late die states, die cracks , etc.</p><p>&nbsp; I have been looking for ages, and finally got a nice example very recently, and got lucky, as I won it for only $137. Its clear, clean, centered, with all details strong on both sides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
