I just got these. Im kinda starting a collection of 1797 and 1799 D's

1826 1/2D (little wear but was almost free)

1831 1D (little wear low cost)

1799 1/2D

1797 2D

Nice. The last 1799 is sharp. MS63 RB-ish, maybe? Or perhaps only MS63 BN, but decent.

Though it is well worn and the color is probably not wholly original, I like the look of the 1831 for some reason (for a circ, anyway). I guess because I'm not accustomed to seeing that many pre-1860 Brit pennies, and you don't see quite so much William IV material due to his short-ish reign.

yea it doesn't fit into my Vicky collection but I liked both the other two and were under 15$ so I bought em

yes the blue hue I immediately thought someone used MS70

Great coins!

asheland · April 29, 2015 12:47AM

That 1799 1/2D is superb!

Very nice, have you figured out which versions the 1799's are yet?

coffeyce · April 29, 2015 10:35AM

no I stall have a lot to learn I have a loupe but im still learning to see the gunports

lordmarcovan · April 29, 2015 3:48PM

Never could figure out the dang gunports on that tiny little ship. Heck, it's usually just a blob on worn coins, anyway. At least you've got a chance of counting them on those examples.

coffeyce · April 30, 2015 1:00AM

yes I still cant see them. Ill let PCGS tell me how many

but I did find another nice XF Vicky and VF one

I'm glad you posted this, Chris. I have a really hard time with grading, as mentioned in your other post. I would have thought that the cleaned coins were okay maybe. I would have been concerned about chatter in fields, for the first 1799 and I would have been worried for no reason. I am impressed with the quality of your collection of these. Hopefully this also means that I have been under grading my own coins.

coffeyce · June 23, 2015 5:15PM

yes me too. I thought they would straight grade seems I still have a lot to learn

Thanks for posting, the grades and the images. A great learning opportunity.

And as a side note, helpful to see your OP date and grade reveal date. I sent a submission off near the end of April as well. Hopefully I'll get mine back soon. So far no word from our hosts as to any updates or grades posted
