Does anyone have pictures of 200+ year old US coins to show?

Was showing some really old US coins to relatives this weekend, they loved them!

How about a thread with pre-1806 United States coins, I think everyone loves these 200+ year old beauties?

Strange dearth of half cents, I shall have to post mine.

One of my absolute favorites!

Great coins, all!

Here it is again: The ex-Holey Coin Vest O-129 Discovery Coin that made history a year ago. (Or, as I refer to it, "the one that got away").

Here is the coin that replaced it on the Holey Coin Vest. (Whoops- sorry- not quite 200 years old yet... but darn close).

Here's an unholed CircCam™ example I have.

I've noticed that Draped halves seem to be the best CircCam™ coins around, for contrast.

Here are three quarters, all from the vest. The first two I used to wear hung together, one atop the other. They're sold off now and replaced with a single type coin. I rather wish I had kept them, now.

(Believe it or not, I cracked this piece out of a slab. PCI red label. I wonder why they red-labeled it? Ha.)

Square nail hole? Or some tool like an awl? Square holes are cool, and sometimes found on coins of this era, as you know.

The present DB quarter type coin from the HCV. The hole's rather ragged but the coin has decent detail.

I LOVE Draped Bust coins, and I also have a holey 1804 half cent and almost all the dates of Draped Bust large cents in the holey large cent date set on the back of the vest. (With the exception of the rare 1799 and 1804 pieces, of course, plus maybe one other).

I still lack the Draped Bust dollar for the Holey Coin Vest. But I am bidding on two.

Oops- I forgot the one Liberty Cap coin I have on the vest. Here it is in one of my alternate avatars.
