GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 03/08/2014 05:57 am TJscoins, seeing your beautiful large eagle cent made me want one too! It is a very appealing coin you have there, congratulations. In a way, the large eagle design is more appealing than the somewhat scrawny small eagle, I think. Report this Post to the Staff
jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 03/08/2014 09:13 am Great coin. I was thinking the same thing about the design. The clouds arranged in an arc above the eagle with stars in between remind me of the draped bust 2nd reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 12:54 am I like the clouds on the small eagle too! And the small eagle is better than some eagles found on US coins. Side Note: One of the things that I find interesting about both of these Washington Cents (both small & large eagle) is that the fabric and artistry is so "Colonial American", while being produced from afar.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 08:38 am Du Simitiere is a neighbor of mine. His final resting place since 1784 has been in the churchyard of St. Peter's Episcopal, two blocks from my house, here in Philadelphia. Tried to find his grave, but at least since as long ago as an 1870 reference I found, it has been "unmarked and forgotten." Report this Post to the Staff
