CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 4:55 pm Look at this beauty I just picked up from ebay! 1817 large cent! My oldest coin now! I only got it for $9.27!! If the pics aren't good enough I will upload better ones when it gets here. But I think they're alright. Pics are from the seller. But I think it's G-VG. I also now have information to believe that this is an N-9 or separated date. The 18 and 17 are far apart. Edited by CoinCollector2000 09/06/2013 10:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 7:02 pm Okay that last post was accidentally posted, but I thought that I'd just get just because the price seemed good. I noticed the scratches, the DINGS, and substantial wear. Report this Post to the Staff

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 7:49 pm I love your enthusiasm, unfortunately there is NO value to this coin. Net grade is -POOR, this coin has NO value. You paid $9.26 too much, it's value is 1 cent. Do yourself a favor and try to get a better looking LC next time. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

Afterimage Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 8:20 pm She's been rode hard and put away wet, but it's still cool. As mentioned above, think about all of the people that have handled this coin. Thomas Jefferson may have bought a Coke with this coin, ya know? Congrats and keep it up! Report this Post to the Staff
1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 8:27 pm No, it's not an awesome start unfortunately. CC2000 could have paid $10-$20 more and would own a nice looking LC. This was just a zero. There's millions of junk coins that have been places and done things and there is still no value or nothing pretty or unique or desirable about them. To each their own. CC2000, please don't take offence, there's so many nice coins out there, you don't need to settle for an example like the one you just purchased. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 8:31 pm 1893S I get what you are saying but honestly I don't care, I love this coin already and it already has more value to me than $0. Report this Post to the Staff
