1796 1C for $1: Skanky but for the Price: OK

I will work on posting a picture, but everything is just coming out brown fuzz.

I bought 6 large cents, all terrible, for $6, as a toss in on another deal. When I got them home, put them under a much better microscope, and one is a 1796, one is an 1814, and one is probably an 1803. There is also one dateless classic head, and the other 2 are so toasted, they cannot even be identified as being a large cent, so they are getting a Viking Funeral.

They will go to my only, but cheapo 7070 album.

    Surprisingly, that's the first 'skanky' to be used in a thread subject line. imageimage

    .... fixed it for ya. image

    I'd buy large cents for a buck a piece in any condition. They're great pocket pieces & conversation starters.

    Is skanky better or worse than scudzy? EAC minds (at least one, but I may be missing my mind) want to know.image

    Scudzy = 1. To be extremely filthy 2. To have lacked proper hygienic care for an extended period of time.

    Skanky = 1. The act of looking cheap, dirty and nasty. 2. Can't post without getting banned.

    I think skanky is to the extreme of crusty with a slight odor.
