Price seemed right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1795-LARGE-...p=true&rt=nc http://www.ebay.com/itm/1806-LARGE-...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff

0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 12:53 am Good purchase there! Although I have to say, for low grade early copper, there is such a variation in details grades! At this point, identifiability and eye appeal, rather than technical merit, is necessary. You gotta have a certain level of scrutiny to find the treasures. Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 2:46 pm the zorro coin looks like a liberty cap cent 1795? the description below was incorrect calling it 1793. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 3:33 pm Yeah, I know it's a 1795, could see the 5 on the date when I bid, and it was described as so in the headline. Wouldn't that have been something if it was a 1793. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 4:40 pm yes it would have. only reason I commented on it was you said you got a flowing hair cent which I think is a 1793 only. Edited by jerryc39 11/27/2015 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 11/27/2015 5:32 pm I think you're right, but I was going by what PCGS calls them in their price guide, and they call anything from 1793 to 1796 a Flowing Hair, and breaks them up into 3 different categories, Chain, Wreath, and Liberty Cap. So It makes for an interesting discussion. But yeah, it's a Liberty Cap. Report this Post to the Staff
