Here's a great coin that passed through my hands today, a lovely 1793 Half Cent grading PCGS XF-45, Breen 3. Kind of neat in that it's the first regular issue US coin listed in the Red Book, and of course a first year issue and one year type. Nice medium brown, non-porous surfaces, just a really nice state of preservation and a definite trip back through time. image

    Unusually good strike on the reverse.
