This one has been a long time coming.

I've been trying to put together a PCGS set of Classic Head Cents in fine for some time now, without much luck. I had to drop down to VGs on some, including this one. The 1809 was certainly a pain in my rear but I am very happy to get it.

Congrats.

I love these old classic large cents, and that's a beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Well done! A very tough group to put together w/o corrosion and other significant problems, and that 1809 is a low mintage date.
I recently obtained the classic head cent of my dreams for my type set - an 1814 in nice VF30. So the one in my type set now goes into my date set. I still need the 1810, 11, and 12.
