EGADS! These large cents fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...

Supremely fugly copper from my local dealer. Silly purchases, but hey they were cheap! I mean where are you ever going to get a 1795 large cent for $12?

I wonder what was actually done to the 1857... a travesty, considering that it's a date that is getting tougher to find.

The 1795 has about the sharpest date you'll ever see on a PO1!

P.S. Who scalped Miss Liberty?

I like your pictures!

Nice pics indeed. And something 211 years old for $12 (and US?!)? Sure sounds like a sweet deal regardless of condition.

Yea, good pics. the 57 and 95 look dug to me, as for the others, they're just fugly. Cool cud on the 22 though

Twelve bucks for eighteenth century US anything is pretty good, I'd say.

Nice photos. They may be rough, but early copper is still early copper.

At-least they don't have holes in them!

The 1857 looks to have been tumbled with other cents or large items that couldn't hit the crevices. --Jerry

Some scarce dates, too! Hey, it's a hobby. Fun is fun. Congrats - they really don't look bad for what they are.

Edited to add: However, I regret being the one to have to tell you - they won't be stickerable.

Oh the agony! Whatever shall I do???? It's the end of my collecting, I tell you! Without the approval of The Consortium, I simply cannot bear to continue this wretched existence...

*throws self off same ugly tree the coins fell out of*

RTS

My guesses as to Newcomb #...any thoughts?

Would guess the 1821 a N1...



Would guess the 1822 a N10...



Would guess the 1825 a N8...

I'm sure it's just the picture, but that 1795 reverse letters look incused to me. If so, it could be a counterfeit.

Not bad purchase for $12

That 1857 looks like something someone did on a whim. Perhaps a soldier setting around during the Civil War. Think of it brothers, the possibilities are endless.

I actually love all of them. They are pieces of history in your hands for the price of a tank of gas. Nice.

RTS, I agree with your attributions. They are all common.

The 1795 is an S-78, which is common as well.

I'll pay $12 every day for ANY U.S. coin where you can clearly see a date in the 1700s, and twice on Sunday.
