Post Your Old Copper

This is a common coin which I picked up some years ago. It was just disposed of. What do you think?

Here's a couple of mine. Nothing special but I enjoy them. The 1787 colonial is the oldest coin in my collection by far.

 

Wish I could find disposed of cents like that! Nice one!

 

An 1793 Wreath type, this one an S-6 variety. Some rim bumps obverse and reverse, but pleasing colour and surfaces.

 

As a kid I would look in the Red Book at these and drool and dream about having one.
Took me until I was 55 years old.....

 

Took you long enough!! That is quite the exceptional wreath cent for the grade, I generally see lots of damaged pieces and never enough of the honest ones.

 

Chief, those are two beautiful coins. Congratulations!

 

I posted this in the Newest Acquisitions thread but it probably belonged here...
Unfortunate scratch but I really like it, and it's slightly rotated, more than it looks here.
I hope you enjoy it.

This might be the best late die state with CUD I've ever seen.

 

I love this coin.

Isn't this a braided hair cent? I thought the one below was matron head due to Miss Liberty's stockiness.

 

I like this one.

 

I don't think I've posted these before in this thread.
