throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 09/15/2017 7:27 pm Thanks! I only gave $40 for it so I think I did OK on it. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/15/2017 8:03 pm I just spent the day walking a coin show, looking for US copper whose date started with "17" for $100 or less. Unsuccessfully. By my standards, you did well indeed. Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 09/15/2017 8:22 pm A 1798 for $40 is fantastic - I've yet to find a coin in the 1700's that had a readable date and in my price range - hard to come by like SD stated for under $100(unless of course a FR-2 or worse one).

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."
