Anjohl Pillar of the Community Canada 815 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 02:51 am Can anyone recommend where I can find a reasonably priced, reasonable grade instance of this coin? I want one for my Large Cent run, just as a companion piece to the 1797 1p, which I have. I don't need an MS65 or anything, just something where George and Britannia are visible. Thanks in advance.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 06:22 am Being of pure copper, the metal is relatively soft. With such a large heavy coin, rim bumps can be a major issue. This is a significant factor in the determination of value. Report this Post to the Staff

Sounds like my 1p, which is an AG or so grade Also with an awful rim bump, and many other problems... then again I don't try to get many large cents either. (I would also love a 2p, in any grade where I can tell what it is - but all the ones I've seen for sale were well over what I could afford. In fact, I got my 1p for less than two bucks, and haven't since seen one in any grade offered for less than twenty - and I'm probably understating it, as I don't remember the exact figures...)

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 08:14 am Try looking for them outside of coin collecting circles. Places like the cheaper antique shops, junk shops and the like are worth considering. Because these coins weigh 2oz many of them were used as kitchen weights for years. My first one was bought as an old kitchen weight in just such a shop, where they did not know about its monetary value. It is a bit rough, but the images are clear enough for the kind of thing you need. Report this Post to the Staff
