Won this on ebay. Not pretty but it was cheap!

I remember my first 18th-century coin. I accidentally sold it though...

Road kill, perhaps by a Cadillac One Lunger, or a very early Model T.  I would love to have a coin such as this, in any condition !

Congrats ...  It is sort of a interesting ... I found myself looking at it and wondering how it got all those hits ... I mean that in a good way. Always nice to get some early copper

Not as bad as some say. You should see my first one. Need a lot of imagination to make out the date.

I have a English 1797 Cartwheel my Grandpa brought from England when he a boy in 1880`s, worn slick. I just wonder where its been before he got it and people who have had that coin. Also brought over 2 farthings 1860 and 1865 Victoria in XF+. They have a lot of history that I will save for my 13yr old grandson to keep them in the family

I find coins like this much more compelling than the same coin in better condition.
This coin would have much more interesting stories to tell than its BU sister.

Congratulations  All 179x copper is very cool. It must have stories to tell. Enjoy!
