My Baltimore Newps...

Hello Everyone... I played the cracks between going to a Community College Transfer Fair for students interested in our program (it let out a little early) and the Annual Johns Hopkins Pathology Symposium (they're a week earlier than normal). Anyway, I only had a little over an hour to spend looking for coins, so I optimized my search by going to the few dealers that I know have pieces I typically like. I simply didn't have the luxury of time to "window shop". First off... JJ Teaparty... I missed Gail, but I actually got to speak to Liz for a little. I looked through their new acquisitions and found a nice Barber Quarter. I then went to see Tom Reynolds. I absolutely love his coppers. He was set up, but apparently had to leave early... I hope all is OK. I went to Butternutt and finally got to meet and briefly chat with Col. Steve Ellsworth. I looked at a few of his coppers and found a nice Braided Hair Coronet LC. After that, I looked briefly at some raw Morgans, but really had to be on my way... Anyway, please feel free to GTG's and comments welcomed!

    Nice large cent! Looks around AU55 to me. I like the color.

    I could do without the hair on the reverse. LOL.

    Glad you found a few NEWPS for the short amount of time you had.
    I was going to guess choice XF (EAC) on the large cent, AU 53 commercial grade.
    Col Steve is a good guy and I have some decent large cents in my collection from him (as well as Mr. Reynolds).
    I always feel a little ashamed about most of my large cents after seeing Reynolds and the other major EAC dealers' inventories....but then I go look at what the 'regular' dealers have for large cents, and I feel better :)
