Last photo I think.

 

Neat coin !

 

pardon!!!!!!!!!!!!!we have never issued cents the coins are pennies.....................and the best of them all the 1797 cartwheel,

 

Woah! We Americans get yelled at for calling US cents Pennies! And just when we get to calling Pennies cents??? :devil: I sense an argument coming on :devil:

 

My cartwheel from the Fun show. (Sorry I just realized that I already posted this photo)

 

Here is a nice penny - only 120,000 minted

 

Sadly this one is NOT in my collection!

 

But this one is!

 

Doing cartwheels will calm the waters!

And remember! The use of term pennies for us doesn't make cents to them.

 

1806 Penny gilt PR64CA

 

Some really beautiful coins here

 

This one grades EF-45 and is from the Norweb Collection

 

coinman0456,


A very nice item--I like it. Not a British penny, though. And not a 1783 U.S. cent, either.


You posted a photo of, I believe, the Washington & Independence, Draped Bust token (Type with no button on the toga). Although dated 1783, the originals were struck in copper c. 1820 probably by Thomas Ingram of Birmingham, England. Later on W.S Lincoln of London made proof restrikes (using new dies) in copper & silver about 1850, and then again around 1860.


I do not have a copy of the Norweb auction catalog to verify, and I am certainly no expert...so I won't make any further attribution. Perhaps another CT member would care to add some insight.

 

Well it's not a penny but it's all I got for right now. It's my two pence.

 

I just took some additional pics of my 1853 piece & am looking for some help identifying the variety:

 

There are two varieties. One with plain trident and colon close to DEF (not this one)
and one with an ornamental trident and colon far from DEF (which is what you have).

This is clearly illustrated on my website at
