Here it is! What we've all been waiting for!

This thread is to have everyone post all their Old Copper US coins, (Colonials, Fugio Cents, Half Cents, Large Cents and whatever you can come up with minted by a US Mint from 1793 (or before) all the way to 1857).

MS-66? Post it! VF-30? Post it! PO-01? POST IT! We want 'em all! Now is not the time to be shy!

Each year is to be posted on a specific day. PLEASE try to wait for your given coins's year to post your coin. (I know it's tough! Be strong!)


This could very well be the BEST Days of Coins EVER!

Ok, since I haven't seen any 1793 coins, I will post a couple of Electro-types I have of both the 1793 Chain Cent and the 1793 Wheat Wreath Cent. These fakes were made somewhere around 1850 (according to the seller) and are copper so they (kind of) qualify as Old Copper.

maybe?


Fake 1793 Electro-type Chain Cent

65-Days-Of-Old-Copper!



Fake Electro-type 1793 Wheat Wreath Cent


65-Days-Of-Old-Copper!

65-Days-Of-Old-Copper!


I have no idea what I was thinking with the Wheat Large cent!

Isn't that a wreath cent, rather than a Wheat cent?

Wreath, wheat, he can't speak. He's drooling like the rest of us and just getting tongued-tied.

Moe, those electrotypes have everything that swamperbob's been teaching us to look for in a counterfeit.....

Since I'm already here....somewhere it must be midnight, and I'm not seeing any more 1793's, so I'll jump the gun with this scratchy 1794 S-23:
