Couldn't resist this one from the latest Legend auction, the luster really screams in hand and it's graded 65 BN. Also has the green sticker. That well known die crack for this date/variety really stands out here.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Nice coin!
Very nice.
Yes, I believe that most of the surviving 1816 N-2, 1817 N-14, 1818 N-10, 1819 N-8 and N-9 (Small Date) and 1820 N-13 (Large Date) all came from the same find, the Randall Hoard, discovered around 1868.
Kind regards,
George
A great example of a Randall Hoard coin, and much less spotted than normal. I also much prefer that coin in p65/cac than n66, as they are oftentimes found.
Congrats on the NEWP.
Meh...if you like that sort of thing...and I do!

Outstanding! I love it!
Like it. I used to own one of these in the same grade for many years. This and the 1818 are the type coins of the series, and are most affordable. It also appreciated in value nicely between when I bought it and sold it (upgraded to an 1838 in 5 RB). This series at this grade gets very pricey in RB.

thats a real nice pick up , congrats
This post times well with my new found love for old copper with nice luster. Beauty! Exactly what I'll be on the hunt for soon enough
the Randall Hoard, is that the one that was found under a train station floorboard or something??
Magnificent, and typically Legend.
Sweet as!
Smitten with DBLCs.
That is a superb example of early US coinage. Wow . . to think you can own something like that . . .that is basically 'as minted' . . . . and think of the history (no one would cross the Oregon Trail for another 26 years or so). These cents were the true workhorses of our economy . . . imagine how happy a kid would be walking into a general store with a shiny new 'penny' in anticipation of some 'penny candy'?
You can say that the silver coinage yet to come designated our country as "on the map" . . .but these big cents just radiated solid and functional economy . . . . and it is no wonder so many delve into the little idiosyncracies of die and variety. I hold a 'Fine' example of any cent from 1825-1840 . . .and I just wonder about our country, where it has been, what stories it could tell . . .
Nice coin!

Yup. They were in a wooden keg from what I remember reading many years ago.

Beautiful!

I keep wanting to pull the trigger on a large cent just like yours. PCGS graded 65BN with radial die crack. You did great there!
Love the early copper!
Beautiful large cent....such detail.....and great pictures as well. Cheers, RickO
Very nice. That's a piece from the famed Randall Hoard, correct?

Such a luster bomb! Wonderful.
Very nice it did not need a sticker but a + I guess.
Hoard the keys.
Beautiful
