<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3802670, member: 92655&quot;]I recently picked up this lovely 1794 cent from one of our members for a song (thank you [USER=43130]@C-B-D[/USER]). This cent displays beautiful detail and even a hint of the original luster peeks through though the photos don’t show it well. To hold this coin, it is a very eye appealing early copper...... She has one flaw. Because the surface is porous, it is an environmentally damaged piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday I attended a show and looked at many tables with slick, almost unrecognizable 1794 cents. Costs ranged from $850.00 to $1100.00. To me, pretty strong money for a coin that looked little more than a copper slug. Yet, I know that many refined collectors would shun this lovely and very eye appealing piece in favor of the “problem free” worn slick copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the outset, I have always favored owning coins that were a joy to look at. This coin is a true joy to view. All elements of the design are bold. There is much that this coin can offer. I believe much more so than a worn slick copper. Particularly when the worn slick copper is valued at double the investment. I will take a TPG problem coin with detail and eye appeal any day over its worn unrecognizable problem free counterpart. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1015059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1015060[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
