Regardless f the condition I think it wasn't a bad purchase, would I buy it? Probably not at $10.00 but all day long at $3-5.00 these damaged coins still have value and are very cool - they have history, and who knows sometimes one gets lucky and buys a pig in a poke with a rare variety, keep studying and learning all you can about these early coppers.

Well said, westcoin.

CC2000 - Please always feel welcome to tell us about your ideas, purchases, questions, anything. We're here to help and support.

And anyone here who hasn't bought something for a bit more than it's "worth" because they love it is not a true collector!

ProfLiz, I would hug you right now! I couldn't have said it any better! I love collecting and I had a little money so I went out and bought it! I will keep you updated! Yeah but my oldest coin before this was a 1872 3 cent piece in about fine/vf condition I guess, so I made an enormous improvement of 61 years on my oldest coin so I thought it was neat to get it for $10! I'll have to show of the 3 cent piece! If you would like me to.

I like your coin There is no reason that you have high grade and expensive coins to enjoy collecting. Buy what you like and stay within your financial means.

I find myself looking at some of my old beat up coins as much as the very expensive ones. I am posting pictures of my two 1817 large cents, both or which are pretty beat up and abused. But, I like them and they sit in the same collection as a bunch of MS state large cents.
