Just received this from a fellow member. He found it mixed with some foreign coins, which would explain the hairlines. Nice, semi-glossy original surfaces & color. Overdate clear. I am putting together a set of Large Cents, and have stated just a date set, but having the 1800/798 and now this one, I am reconsidering  A few minute spots of verdigris on the obverse...again, minute. Verdi-care? Thoughts?    swcoin.ecrater.com

Sweet coin for your date set!
I especially like the bold overdate for this year.
Not sure about the verdi-care question.
Good luck with the set!

Looks like its time to expand that set if you're already starting to acquire some varieties!  I absolutely love the bold overdate as well. Congratulations on the find! |

This is an intriguing coin to own. Pleasing color, too. While working on your date set, you might also work on a mini-set of overdates, 1823/2, 1851/81 ... The 1799/8 would be an expensive addition though! You could use the overdates to complete the year sets, whenever possible, huh?

Very nice, I am doing a date set also, have to complete that before even thinking about varieties.

Thanks guys :)
It's amazing this coin is exactly 200 years old and how they would hand cut the dies.

Awesome coin. Amazing how clear that 0 is still. Most over dates you can barely tell. I agree with exo. Fill the dates with over date coins where you can. Then you have a date set with a little added wow factor.

Exo, the 1799/8 would be awesome. Would have to sell the car first :-O

Very nice overdate! Another obvious overdate would be the 1807/6. I just bought one in AG and the overdate is still visible!

Nice one! It's one of the stronger overdates on a US coin. |
