    Neat coin. Has honest wear and lots of history.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    My very first coin was an 1853 large cent that I got from my dad, who got it from my great grandmother. I still have it. It will go to one of my kids someday.
    1853 was an interesting year for coins.

    I think my first large cent was an 1853, too. And then an 1845. Great stuff.

    No not my first large cent. My first was a 1854 cleaned, polished recolored piece of c r p. This is a upgrade, thanks to mike dixon, for my type set. Its darker than the scan, the auto adjust lightened it up alot. here is better pic same coin.
