paul Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 4:30 pm Hello, I have found a large cent for sale for around $3. It is in horrible condition. It can't tell date. It may be a coronet or coronet w/ braided hair. It is dented. I can't imagine it being worse. Baaaaaaaad. What do you think it is worth? Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 07/30/2009 11:44 pm I usually tend to stay away from hideous coins. If you add up a bunch of "junk" purchases of $5 here, $3 here, $8 there you could have a nice, valuable, pleasent to look at coin in your collection instead of a page of junk.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 01:24 am I apologize if it wasn't clear that my last post was in jest. I agree that it is certainly not worth $3, and would encourage the OP not to purchase. I do find the coin amusing though. If coins could talk, imagine the stories that one would tell?

DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 08:14 am Nope. I bought coins like this. Later, I've regreted buying every single one of them. Take it only if it's free, or face . Report this Post to the Staff
SPQR Valued Member United States 327 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 1:58 pm OK, there are tons of less-than-beautiful large cents on ebay, buy it now for ten bucks shipped free that, while not great, are light years ahead of that one. Really for around $20 you can get a really decent example of these. There's decent well worn and circulated and then there's crusty busty's like that one...I'd skip it. Report this Post to the Staff

I might think about starting an ugly book. (Woo-Hoo another exasperated look from my wife) Edited by mrwisker 08/05/2009 3:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Thomcollects Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 7:46 pm When I taught 10th grade US History, I would bring in coins similar to this just to show the kids how big cents used to be. This way, I didn't care if they got lost or stolen. Report this Post to the Staff
paul Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 8:52 pm Well, I'm not going to buy it. I'm a bit short of cash anyway. Thanks for the help. I would buy it for my US type set, but I can't tell which type it is. Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff
