[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1797526, member: 22585"]I don't know the rarity level, but I'm sure this is probably my lowest survivor. I do know this, thanks to CT members: 1804 Draped Bust Large Cent - die state 3b (based on the cud). Sheldon 266 I am told it's the rarest of the 4 die states. I don't what the equates to in rarity. 96,500 (all die states) minted with approx 1100 graded between NGC and PCGS. I know I've said it before, but it's been awhile: This coin has been in my family since 1812. It may not be extremely rare, but it's extremely lucky to have survived. For the first 150 years, it was tossed from junk drawer to junk drawer until my Dad rescued it when he got bit by the numis-bug in the 50's. When I received this coin, it was the catalyst that turned me into the obsessed collector I am today. [IMG]http://memberitemcdn3.coinnection.com/shared_ii8146754ff092a25e436.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
