Post a pre-1830 coin that...

...You would say with 100% certainty has never been dipped, cleaned, whizzed, etc. and has undeniable original surfaces.

100%? Sorry, impossible. No one can.

closest that I can get.

How can anybody say that with 100% certainty without being delusional?

Delusional disorder aside...

Not pre 1830, but what's the opinion on the originality on this one ?

Sorry, but I'm quite sure that one has been dipped at some point. A 100% original early 19th century mostly "white" coin would be a bit more "smokey."

Let's give this one a try ...

Yes, that Eliasberg Proof half dime is the real thing.

Here's another old piece that is original. It's an 1800 "LIBEKTY" half dime. The "B" was made from a broken letter punch that sort of looks like a "K."

Here is another canidate. Looks like we are well on our way to a nice 1829 year set!

I just remembered this old timer I have that I found my pics of. I bet this one is real close to original. I really wish some of these older pieces weren't worth so darn much so I could keep them around the house instead of just their pics
