I bought this around Thanksgiving, and finally got it imaged and merged with Photoshop. Four hours later, and the finished product:
If anyone wants a readable copy, I will try to send them out via email as a zipped file....way big, ~300 meg per picture. Shoot me a PM with your email if interested.
Happy New Year all.

Haha, that's how they used to write "S". Super sweet, Pairer.
I'm interefted fo fhoot me off a copy. Thif if pretty cool. I never did underftand why the ess refembled the eff in early print (e.g. "one thoufand feven hudred and feventy-fix"). Anyway, I think I could handle the much larger file. It fhould be much more readable. What'f interefting is the modren uppercase 'S' in "Saturday" and the lowercase second 's' in "Congrefs".
Thankf,
Kirk
Happy New Year!

I wanted to respond to the ads on the back page, but not one of the merchants has a website.
No wonder they're no longer in business!

That's why we went to the Chain Cents from the Birch Cents.

I already have an appointment to have it framed with someone here in MadTown. The framing will cost more than the paper did, but well worth it. I was even toying with the idea of a shadow box effect, adding a Large Cent somewhere in the frame. I'll post the finished product for all to enjoy.

Well, from the Birch cent patterns and the Silver Center cent patterns.
