Barry - great half  also noticed the fraction on the large cent - found this on largecents.net Quote: 1802 S-228 1/000 Fraction
One of the more interesting 1802 varieties, due to the blundered fraction, which reads 1/000 instead of 1/100. This is the only 1802 variety with the error fraction, even though, it shares its reverse with 1801 S-223.

Great coins everyone! I've been told that I'm not worthy to own my #11 coin - a 1922 No D Lincoln. I understand that we are a very diverse group as to our collections from classic coins to modern coins so I don't mean any disrespect when I say that I really don't enjoy the Lincoln cents. So what am I doing owning this rather valuable coin? In the 1950's I would check my Dad's pocket change every day when he came home from work. I kept all the cents from the 1930's and earlier and tossed them in Maxwell House coffee cans. Those coffee cans traveled with me for 50+ years until two years ago when I had knee replacement surgery and some time to look through them. At some point I hope to either sell or trade this coin. Maybe someone else will appreciate it.

I am behind on posting coins .. I am in the middle of ripping out cabinets out of my kitchen and putting in new ones .. wife sort of wants me to finish that and not spend time online. Want to at least keep up with all the nice coins I am seeing so far. My #12 1938 D Indian head nickel. I have had this coin for a very long time. It was given to me, right from a newly broken UNC roll.  My #11 Is a coin I found in a junk silver box. When I got it, it was so black it was hard to see what it was. I still need to work on it some more, but I am happy with it so far.

My number 10 is this 1885-O Morgan silver dollar in MS-65 PL. It's a really great strike for the New Orleans mint.

#10) 1810/9 1c XF40This coin is a dark chocolate with some caramel highlights but I've had a hard time capturing in the holder. Here's my best shot. I did attempt to adjust the exposure slightly since the original pic was so dark.
