Great stuff is getting harder and harder to find, PQ prices are soaring, my show calendar is shrinking, and I currently find this despair to be a dampener on my spirits. Is there still stuff out there worth finding?
Here I’ll start:

Just a beautiful 1859 Cent!
My brother, how can you be in such despair with the choice copper you've been posting lately?
Here is some choice copper from the waters I swim in:

That’s one of the types I need! Love it!
BTW I didn’t mean it had to be mint state. I was just trying to differentiate from proof, but in all earnestness I’d love to see some proof early copper too!

Beautiful half cent @PocketChange
Another….
Both of these are PF66CAM
I believe this is the finest known example of the J-211
There is at least 1 PF67CAM of the J-212, so this is close to the finest known.

The only one graded 63+:
MS63, my type example. I was very selective to find all of the stars fully struck.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Both Proof 66 CAC. Not cameos though.
My #1 IHC variety set just went live for bids at Heritage? Maybe that will help get you out of the doldrums ...

Thanks Steven. I was able work alongside Stewart for several year, and then bought a few from his estate. I remember one instance where we had 4 of the 6 1869's in MS66 6/0 laid out on a table and we debated about who was going to pick two for each. They were all too close to call.
Thanks, Doug! Having fun bidding on this for now 😁

The only 2 branch mint IHCS from San Francisco.

While it’s not mint state, I believe this qualifies as choice early copper. Based on my 20+ years of chasing early half cents, it’s so very hard to find a low grade or mid grade 1794 half cent with a nice planchet and color, and IMO this qualifies on both criteria.
As always, my apologies for the lousy pics!
