Wideglide Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:52 pm I've been wanting one for a while now... Always have, though when I started collecting in the 80's, there were no 200 year old US coins! I didn't post in the Grading Forum, because I think all would agree that it's G-4, G-6 at best. But for $9.50, I'm pretty happy. Edited by Wideglide 05/08/2020 11:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 10:21 pm Lots of wear and I think a more recent cleaning, but old US copper is really nice to pick-up. Just be careful as it can be addicting.

Wideglide Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 10:49 pm I hear you guys about the copper. I already have a couple large cents, 2 and 3c copper, FEC,IHC and LWC's galore. It's always been about the mystique of being 200 years old. Probably has something to do with being in my teens during the Bi-Centenial in '76...
