<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Schlenz, post: 2284511, member: 76465&quot;]Hello to all! My name is Eric, I&#039;m fairly new to collecting. My focus has been American Silver Eagles. I&#039;m still educating myself on older coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to share with everyone a batch of coins I found at an estate sale over the weekend. I&#039;ve done a ton of research on each of the coins, primarily to identify their value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m writing to share my finds with the good folks here, and I&#039;m looking for feedback and any general information.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple things to note, from my research:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I believe the Mass. commonwealth coin to be a reproduction. The font looks very wrong to me. Can anyone confirm this assertion?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The USA bar cent, I also believe to be a reproduction, but I&#039;m not 100% sure. The reason I believe it to be a repro is because it seems to have a pock mark on the USA side (casted?), and I don&#039;t see the &quot;tooth&quot; people refer to on any of the bars of the opposite side.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I believe the other coins to be genuine. And from my research, I believe the 1798 draped bust large cent is the winner of the group. I&#039;ve identified it as a hair style 1. Beyond that, I have been unable to determine in more detail what variety it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, what do you think? Bare in mind I only paid $10 for the whole group? Do any of the other coins stand out to anyone as ones I should also focus on due to rarity or value?</p><p><br /></p><p>I greatly appreciate any feedback! Thank you</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457224[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457225[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
