I have just finished going through many of your threads and you seem to have the curiosity but you should learn to take the advice of members here. You have posted many coins that you believe to be extremely rare and have said that you have sent some of them in to TPG but I have yet to see any results posted. Have you sent any in? Did they come back as expected? Even the experts here can be wrong some times as we are just going off pictures to judge but with many of these posts the answer has been obvious to most. Anyways I'd love to see what TPG had to say about the coins you said you submitted. |

Put me in the draped bust group as the only coin that comes close to matching the obverse and reverse is a draped bust large cent. Agreed. Badly corroded, but the outline of the draped bust obverse and reverse is fairly clear. Maybe it's just the quality of the photos, but I see no hint of a date or any inscriptions as described. Please submit to a TPG and report back the results. Edited by hokiefan_82

I call this "numismatic psychosis." I'm sorry, but you're never going to get anywhere in this hobby by looking up the most expensive coin you can find and then trying to convince other people that your severely corroded coin is that one, when it clearly isn't. And I'm not even sure which coin you're dreaming about with all this left facing male with a Birch tattoo and a coat and 1792 and etc. Where in god's name do you see all that? What specific coin do you think this is anyway? I apologize again but I think you're in need of some tough love. Return to earth.

This is clearly a draped bust. I don't see a beaded edge or any of the lettering or 1792 date. Just a corroded draped bust cent.

I agree with everybody here -- first of all, the bust on your coin is facing right, not left as you claim. It is a woman's portrait. No date can be read. There are no inscriptions of "GWPT." If it was a male portrait facing left, why is there details of a face on the back of his head? That's creepy. I've come to the conclusion that this is definitely a draped bust cent, worth less than $75 regardless of the date. It just has terrible corrosion. You seem to be referring to the extremely rare white metal birch cent, as none with "GWPT" were struck in copper (hint!) I've included images of that coin and a picture of a coin similar to yours, in much better condition.   Edited by dunkleosteus430

Here is what we can identify from your photos. The reverse has a large ribbon bow under the words one cent. The obverse portrait looking left has the hair in a bun. Please show me any coin metal, colonial, pattern minted in 1792 that has those details in the design.

Badly corroded Draped bust large cent, type 2 hair so 1798 - 1807, reverse style is also 1797 to 1807.

I can't even say this is a genuine draped bust large cent. Maybe the edge was hammered slightly before being lost in the ground?

The OP here has made it clear, they are not looking for opinions but looking for there own opinions to be gratified... Also got defensive over being called a troll then trolled the community in one of there more recent posts by saying it was basically a test and we failed to not tell them there unidentifiable coin was worth thousands of dollars based on a there photos... If your never wrong then you never learn and remain where you are, this isn't just with this hobby but with everything. If your confident and think your more skilled then the members here then prove them wrong once... The OP has spoke of sending coins to TPG but has confirmed nothing about results etc. If not a troll then someone unwilling to listen and wanting to demean others? Might I say a Keren?

Thank you Wrekkdd, you explained it better than I could.
