 This is a fun question! 1798 large cent. I posted this coin here a while ago, and it is rough, but has great detail remaining.   Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. Edited by jacrispies

Before or after 1776?

1794 large cent AG with the common corrosion. But the date and outline of the bust are solid.

barkeep- That's a very nice looking half! I love silver, copper is just too dark for me.  Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. |

Got a few Liberty Cap cents & Half Cents, all very rough. Older = better for me, so top on my wish list is 1792 Half Disme, then 1793 chain cent, then the wreath.. Of course I also want a Fugio, various state coppers etc but have more learning to do before I jump into that pond.  |

Tho not technically a US coin,OST colonial is coin guides and references will list these on account of them being used in the colonies heavily.  |

But that isn't my oldest US money. This is my oldest note when the states were still colonies. I like the 'To Counterfeit is Death' warning!   |

Forgot about this one. Out of my late fathers collection. Too bad about the holes.  |

One US and one colonial.
