<p>[QUOTE="BostonCoins, post: 2669300, member: 34720"]You raise very good points [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] (as usual). I will say your argument on the State coppers is a very good one, and hard to argue against. I suppose in those cases, they were officially issued by a state government, therefore legal tender within that state. I cannot say one way or the other if those coins were ever officially recognized, or would have been honored if presented in a different state.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your statement on the early Large Cents and Half Cents, I don't understand your point/question. Where each of these coins were issued by acts passed by the US government, wouldn't they fall under the term of Legal Tender for the United States? When the Large Cents were replaced by the Flying Eagle and Indian cents, did the government issue a new law that stated the previous Large Cents were no longer legal tender?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
