Second U.S. coin purchase of 2015!

I noticed the recent "Key date" thread after I wrote this yesterday. I think the message is the same and echoes the statement made by Bill Jones on the first page. Enjoy.

You are getting some major cherry picking out of that set. Good for you.

Love the write up.

Good purchase. I would also add that large cent collectors are increasingly being priced out of the early-date coins (1793 - 1814); this is prompting collectors to turn to middle-date coins like the one in this thread.

Desertrat,

Good point. That is a demographic shift that should help these coins as well.

Jim,

I am enjoying it.

One of the nicest '23 N-2's I've seen anywhere....I was thrilled just to acquire a F+ that wasn't dark.

Funny - I found myself priced out of the early date coins 25 years ago, the late dates were kind of boring, and felt the middle date offered solid value - so that's where I started my large cent collection!

Kewl coin! Nice writeup! I must have missed the first one. Did you finish your World20?

Nice coin and write up.

Nice coin, plus like the write-up! That is the only date I have missing in my 1816-57 large cent date run. Been looking for a reasonably priced, attractive VF-20 to VF-30, but those seem to come few and far in between. I'd place the 1821 a close second behind the 1823 in difficulty.
