[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1469257, member: 22585"]I did just post this in another thread, but here it is anyway.. [B]1804 Large Cent[/B] This is the coin that started it all for me. It was part of a collection given to me by my Dad. It has been in our family since 1815. We know this for sure. What we don't know is why it was kept. We don't believe my relative was a collector, since this was the only coin the came through the family. Maybe he liked the cud, or maybe it was just a coin thrown in a drawer. We will never know. We are certainly lucky though. It is an S-266 die state B, the rarest of the 1804 large cents. I know, I need new images. But obviously, this coin isn't sitting around my house.
