<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 7352732, member: 10461&quot;]I like it.&nbsp; Most of the ten large cents you receive are of the Coronet and Braided Hair types.&nbsp; One of those, an 1855 with slanted 5&#039;s, is in AU58 grade, and looks about like the example pictured <a href="https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/258/large-cents/braided-hair-liberty-head/1855-P/slanted-5s/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/258/large-cents/braided-hair-liberty-head/1855-P/slanted-5s/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, except that it has much more original mint red remaining on it.&nbsp; It won&#039;t get you rich when you bring it back to 2021, but it&#039;s still a $200-ish coin, give or take.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But the most amazing find in your handful of cents is a <i>1793 Wreath cent! </i> It is worn flat and the date is weak, but it is identifiable.&nbsp; It would only grade somewhere between Poor and AG, so it is worth considerably less than the $2,340 G4 price listed on <a href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=lrgcnt&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=10210500&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=lrgcnt&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=10210500&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" rel="nofollow">Numismedia</a> when you bring it back to 2021.&nbsp; But you don&#039;t mind that a bit.&nbsp; Hey, you didn&#039;t get the 1793 <i>Chain</i> cent, but this is not bad at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=16035]@dano[/USER] is a finalist in the contest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
