I don't think the 1797 is a penny, I think it is a two pence. If it is it is worth more than the $40 all by itself

Interesting .. I wondered why the 1797 was so big and heavy. In hand it really is a nice looking coin.
What are they worth .. about .. I like to put into my spread sheet a value.

I guess I am going to watch for more of these, I see them in some of the collections I buy and local coin shops.

I would have paid $40 for that lot all day long! Lots of good quality there, and fascinating history.

Have to disagree. Compared to the Morgan provided. Morgan is 38.1 mm across, cartwheel penny is slightly smaller, 36 mm. A twopence is visibly larger, 41 mm across, and twice the thickness of a Morgan (2.4 mm for $1 and 5 mm for the 2d). While the cartwheel in the picture is an impressive coin it doesn't measure up to the twopence dimensions.

On my scale the 1797 weighs 28.4. After a little online search.
I agree with svslav, that it is a penny and not a two pence.
