publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 9:47 pm I'm surprised they bothered with an edge treatment, especially one so elaborate. I can't imagine there was much risk of counterfeiting such gigantic coppers, & who ever heard of clipping base-metal coins? Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 12:44 am The die tooling is pretty elaborate too--I guess practicality wasn't the first objective? That's a very nice and dramatic coin--I'm partial to big coppers. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4964 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 12:32 pm thanks everyone. I'm not really familiar with the type and was slightly nervous, glad it's all ok. I'm usually an ancient coin guy, but this one is one of my favorites. numbisrob, post yours if you get a chance, I would like to see them. Report this Post to the Staff

Here goes - sorry, photos not as good as I hoped. This is the 1789 detector find: ... and this is a 1790 off-centre struck specimen I picked up a while ago in a dealer's junk bin. The coin isn't holed - a high spot on one of the leaves seems to have reflected on the photo... Here are the edges - no prize for guessing which coin is which!

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4964 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 8:13 pm neato, that second one is pretty darn good for a "junk bin" coin! and you sure can't beat the price you paid for the first one! Report this Post to the Staff
