Here are two from the 7070. I've never bothered with varieties, but if anyone wants to take a shot, be my guest. A 1798 large cent (T2 hair) with just about everything wrong with it:  And an 1800 Half Cent that's not too bad. I had a hard time getting a half decent photo, though, so I had to settle for this. I know it's not ideal, but you can at least see most of the coin.  At some point I would like to have a flowing hair half in my collection, but even an AG coin would put a significant dent in my budget at the moment.

   My old copper on a budget  . The Draped Bust Large Cent I found Metal Detecting in my grandparents yard up in Maine. When I first dug it up, it had an iron piece sticking through the hole (as seen by the rust color around the hole). Not knowing what it was, I took out the iron, I found it by a tree, and thought t was a tag nailed to the tree, or a dog tree. It wasn't until I got home from vacation that I realized what I had. The 1796 Cent I got a good price on ebay.

I do have several Draped Bust coins, so I'll just show one of the more interesting ones: 1798/7 Dime:   A close-up shot of the overdate (small 8 over large 7):

I only have one... At least its an R-3/4  1803 Large Cent, FR Details, Bent. I believe this one is a S-245, which would put it at being a R-3/4 coin with only 200-500 known. Gosh, these old pictures suck lol... coin is MUCH nicer in hand...
