TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 2:31 pm Before you yell at me, I did not used the money from selling my type set here to buy this coin. I traded a coin I had $150 in for it. It was priced cheaply ($375), and I wasn't going to have the chance to get another one anytime soon, so.... It is dated 1800, and I see just enough of the die chips to call this one the BB-14 "Dotted Date" variety. Edited by TypeCoin971793 07/10/2017 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 2:42 pm Yeah, that's a coin and "price" you can't easily walk away from, a "no matter what" situation! Lucky you! Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 3:33 pm It's hard to resist a good pocket piece, especially when no pocket money is involved. The reverse is pretty nice. It would go well in a belt buckle. You can tell people it's an 1804. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 5:51 pm Thanks all! It is really nice to have such a large, historic coin that no one is afraid to touch and handle (at least I'm not afraid to hold it in my hand).

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15403 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 7:27 pm Not an expert on authenticity ... looks good from here ... and offering my sincere congrats should it prove to be so. Not often that we are able today to hold such a historic example of USA coinage in our hands .... hence the collecting pursuit.
