paddy murphy Valued Member United States 401 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 3:46 pm do you remember the first time you looked at a coin book and thought "wow, what a cool coin", for me it was the 1/000 large cents. Well, I was at the annual Willimantic CT coin show when I came across this reasonably priced little beauty and just had to pull the trigger. Very late die state to say the least.

I could have written that myself. It's hard not to wonder what the engraver was thinking... Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 3:51 pm Too bad it didn't have the other obverse. As for what the engraver was thinking, it was probably somewhere along the lines of "what does it matter, I probably won't have a job next week." At the time there was a lot of discussion going on in Congress as to whether or not the mint should be abolished. It barely squeaked through a vote to give it an extension in life in 1802.
