@ReadyFireAim, yes, it is a dead on copy for the S-139 genuine source example found and another previously submitted to a TPG; this one is good enough to be listed in the Condition Census for the variety...
I just see Rhedden's superb Classic above . . . . here is one much more in line with my collecting options !!! I think our host would agree with the grade . . . . had to send it in quickly, and ANACS did a fine job.

1797 S-139 Large Cent:
Zoins, coins can't talk. They just dont. It's a nice Fugio. But it will never talk to you. No matter how much you want it too. 😈
Is it for sale? I've been looking for a presentable one for a while. All I have is an electrotype of a counterfeit--not the same thing.

Sorry Sonorandesertrat I no longer have the 1815 Large Cent. Only this crappy pic from my early days of coin photography.
Always thought it was neat.
My "1815"...
Couple things I was hoping to see but don’t think anyone has posted yet:
-1796 half cent
-1795 Talbot, Allum, and Lee half cent overstrike
Also, I love seeing the chain cents. I could look at those all day!
For those who liked this 1797 large cent I must confess it is a struck counterfeit.
I figured as much. Is it for sale?

Can't do that Sonorandesertrat!
I suspected that, as well! (Not that my eyes could discern it as such...)
Smitten with DBLCs.

...Does it have Sheldon# that it's trying to copy?

When I saw that amazing 1806 half cent come up for auction I knew I couldn't own it, but I did grab a screenshot of it at the time!

The denomination always amused me. From RWB nine years ago.

I just checked my Type collection and I just about emptied my Large Copper during my last trip to Denver.
