I just purchased this coin from TypeCoin971793, he gave me a smoking deal, which I took in a heartbeat. It is my favorite coin in which I own.  The chocolate-patina is amazing. I am thinking of starting a dansco large cent collection (my favorite group of coins), and I believe this would be the first coin to add to it  Here she is:   |

Very nice purchase Devin. I've yet to acquire a US coin from the 1700's but I'm not stopping trying.

Very nice addition! I'm not sure what the Dansco album consists of but I picked up the Library of Coins Vol. 2 Large Cents album that covers 1821 through 1857 and has 64 openings for all dates plus major varieties. I had no idea how many I lacked to fill it. I wouldn't even attempt Vol. 1.  |

She's a keeper! Congrats. Beautiful '94. Looks like it could use an oiling, but otherwise, leave the patina alone.

Nice. Can't wait to see your set fill up.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
