    and the reverse.

    Playing with the photobucket web site. The images are actually different sizes - took me forever(about 30 minutes) to figure out how to get the smaller images here. Maybe next time I will look at some help.

    Grading opinions and attibution opinions are welcome. I think it is S121b. I think the coin looks better in hand.

    They always do !

    I'm thinking G-4, maybe VG-8. I love these old coppers... neglected part of my cabinet right now.

    Going by the picture I would have to say G-4 and I can not tell from the picture if it is stemless, that will not change the grade however it will the value. I also love old copper I hope you got it for a good price they are great coins.

    It looks better than a good to me, but I am not a pro at large cents.
    Very nice piece.

    An easy G4 and then some.
    The obverse is closer to a full VG.

    Nice coin - can't beat that old copper!

    Nice looking 1797. I would probably grade it 6 net 4. With the single top leaves on the reverse and the close date, it is likely an S-121b (assuming it has a gripped edge). Now if it has a plain edge, you have yourself a real winner and a very rare coin.

    Forgot all about that - it has a gripped edge.

    Very nice coin! I would grade it G-4. I bought a 1800/79 cent about 3 months ago but it's damaged.

    I don't have one of those - yet. It's hard to find the early dates without some type of problem. But I like the early coppers.
