I spotted this Cohen 1 1809 half-cent in last week's Great Collections auction when the bid was $125. It ended up going for over $4800 (!!) . . . The Cohen 1 attribution is not called out on the slab, and not noted in the description, but obviously a number of us recognized what it was (

Old copper is so, so cool . . .
