Thanks, but the coins we're discussing is not a competition. Each of the coins mentioned in this thread by everyone are well over 200 years old, and each has its own beauty and history. A "well worn" coin used in commerce during that time has quite a story to tell! Perhaps one of our "Founding Fathers" even handled it?

Large Cents: 1795,1796,1797. All worn but still very cool. Like to think that my ancestors may have had them at one point in MA or VA.

This is what originally got my interest in coins...the physical connection to history. I figure the more of those beater early coins I hoard,the more likely I will have shared a piece with one of the greats!

Large cents of 1794, 1795, 1797. They are PO1-AG3, so can't brag too much. But I think the series is fantastic and just hoping to slowly build a budget friendly date set just to say to myself I did it.
