1796 Penny Washington REPUB AMERI Electrotype

coinsarefun

Hi all, wanted to share my newest electrotype pickup. Excellent surfaces, plain edge with typical seam.
I was so excited to get it I took some really quick images. I'll try for better later.
I uploaded much more accurate color wise.

Below my electrotype I included an image from Coinfacts........not my coin but would not complain if it was!

Really well made.....I hope you guys like it

Nice as I could live with that electrotype. Your collection must be coming along quite well? How many are you up to now? Feel free to take your sock off for counting over ten

@Broadstruck lmao
I need to put together a new wallpaper as I think I’m well over 20 now.
I think this was my last composition.

Old time electros are an interesting facet of the hobby in my opinion. I don't own over 20 yet like coinsarefun but am gaining on it! My coolest is this Vermont "Baby Head"; the mystery is not being able to find an image of the apparent source example...

@burfle23 That is a great example! It is extremely difficult to find the original host coin.
I have only been able to find a few of mine and thats only because they came to auction
over the last couple of years. But its still fun to keep the search going and perhaps find the original coin.
