I have a group of 3 that I got a while back for $7.00. I only have pics of the obverse of each, although they have the faint remnants of the reverse.    There's almost a date on that last one, but not quite. |

Great! Even old crusties have their own character. Love trying to discern features and attributes on the old ladies. I was beginning to fear I was doomed to frolic today.  |

I'm thinking your first is an 1840 large date Cippy...  The second one has me stumped...  Didn't know they had telephones in the 1790's   |

I'll bet they would holder it, but I doubt it's worth it LOL!

Okay, so I only have two large cents (they're kind of hard to come across over here - that's two out of two I've ever seen offered), and one of them is a pretty decent (VF+) 1841 (so it won't come up until August). The other, however, is a prime candidate for this day. My best guess for the date is 1823; coincidentally, the original seller's guess was 1890 (which is just plain laughable). And here it is! (It's not actually rotated of course, it's just that I chose the obverse photo that did the best job at showing LIBERTY).   |
