CLOSING TONIGHT: Large Cents back to 1794 (!)

CLOSING TONIGHT!

I've had some very interesting large cents for a little while now. These date all the way back to 1794 (!) and include some better-grade pieces. I hope you'll get a chance to check these out. No reserve, 99-cent minimum, return privilege...can't beat that. Below is a link to the 1794, and as always, I welcome any questions or comments.

    I was checking out your cents earlier (have 1 on watch list). What's the deal on that 1797? Most of those lines looked raised, you said cuts. Is that an optical illusion?

    I know, that's weird, isn't it? I thought the same thing when I first saw the coin...it looks the same way in person at first glance. I had to put it under my 40x stereo scope to see for sure. They are cuts into the coin that pushed the metal up and created a raised part next to the cut. I'm guessing it was a knife (a sharp one) that was used, but who knows?
