RubyOpal Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 12:12 pm A friend told me this is worthless - a cull. Is that even possible for a 200-year-old coin? I'm thinking a grade of 1, maybe a 2. Sorry the photos aren't any clearer! Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 4:55 pm Maybe worth $1 or $2. You can get 1800 year old Roman coins a lot nicer grade than this for a $1 or $2 too. Age has NO INFLUENCE on value. Report this Post to the Staff

Still an early U.S. government produced relic. Regardless of what others say, do you like it? If so enjoy it. It is a product of our nations early history. This coin was born when all of these things happened (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1809_...ted_States). You can hold a relic from that year in your hand for very little money. 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."

I got the coin from a dear friend and history buff who has held onto this coin for over 40 years. So its value is immense to me!

chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 7:39 pm I always like these early coppers. They did their duty in commerce and it's always fun to think where it's been and who had it. I would think it's worth more than a buck or two, not much more maybe, but I'd pay $2 per for these all day. Report this Post to the Staff
