morgandude Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 4:02 pm That is amazing. Probably is your oldest circulation find! Quote: I think you got ripped off. Go back to the bank and demand the other 49 cents. Report this Post to the Staff
Derek Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 5:00 pm That is AWESOME! That is the same year cent that I have that my dad gave me as a small sliver of his collection. Back when he got a bunch of large cents in the 70's they only sold for about 7 bucks a piece. You imagine buying them at that price today? lol Report this Post to the Staff
CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 6:20 pm Definitely my oldest find. Is it a large or small date? I think a small date goes for $15-20, right? Report this Post to the Staff

CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 8:48 pm I thought it was a large date. I also found a few silver halves including an impaired proof. Perhaps someone raided a collection.. Report this Post to the Staff

CrazyCat Pillar of the Community United States 556 Posts	Posted 01/09/2013 9:01 pm Wow, that is amazing!! I would have never thought anyone would ever find an obsolete form of currency in circulation, let alone a large cent! But I guess it makes sense seeing how it's roughly the diameter of a half dollar and has a similar composition to modern halves sans the clad covering. Still an amazing find though.

Large cents are 10.9 grams, clad halves are 11.3 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
