cjartist Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 08:30 am Showing off another of my favorites, the oldest coin in my collection. I wanted something from Washington's presidency, but wasn't optimistic. Until I saw this, and snatched it up almost immediately. I was bowled over by how even the wear is. PCGS VG10.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 08:36 am You have every reason to show it off. A nice example of the 1795 Liberty Cap cent! Ar first sight it appears to be Sheldon S-76b, plain edge with 'One Cent' high in wreath. An often encountered 1795 variety. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 09:43 am Over time I've picked up a lot of tattered coins. Here's my scratchy S-23. The die crack is very prominent across Liberty's cheek, which is swollen like a bad toothache. Too bad someone scratched up the obverse fields. Not much to look at compared to your 1795. But when will I find another one at a coin show for 200 bucks... "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 10:08 am Nice coin. Now think of this. Your back in 1795 with a whole pocket full of those. And just to buy a loaf of bread. Report this Post to the Staff
cjartist Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 11:43 am Nice one, thq, I actually prefer the design in '94. I'm sure large cents are more fun to collect than they were to use! Report this Post to the Staff
