I like it. For the most part.
Nice coin Jerry.

The only thing I don't like is the porosity.

That's a personal hangup I have on coins, particularly older copper.

I do like the fact it is a 1794 though, especially with such nice details!

I agree, however, with these details and w/o the porosity the value would have been about 10-20 round trips to St Louis w/hotel and I wouldn't be owning it...Doug Bird would have had it there pitching it to RYK...

It's this unwillingness to accept porosity that keeps a lot of collectors from approaching copper. It'll be interesting to See RYKs purchases. I know Hoot is OK with porousity (at the right price) but I'm guessing RYK will eschew it.

Oh, I agree with you. Willingness to accept porosity can lead to a much better detailed coin at a much lower price. Not arguing that.
And, there are levels of porosity. If it doesn't really interfere with the details/look of the coin, then that is a much easier thing to handle.
