Wow, gorgeous and well struck coin with good color and luster!
The minor graffiti in the fields is barely noticeable. Awesome piece!
How do you know those nearly invisible disturbances were created intentionally as graffiti, as opposed to errant handling marks? I would have thought you’d love the piece because it’s super frosty with a hammered strike and does not feature an ugly shovel.😉

@tradedollarnut Bruce, I realize it's a little off-topic. Though it still is 18th century...
I LOVE your 1794 MS67 BN Large Cent. I'll be going to your PM's soon after to annoy you on it.

I can assure you its not graffiti, just minor scratches. The profile is perfect, like on a proof.

Have you always collected 18th century of all types or is this a new project/collection you've decided to explore?

But why would I want to do that? It’s taken years for another set to strike my fancy enough to be passionate about it. I’d rather enjoy the process and savor the chase than be wham bam thank you ma’am done in a year.

Not being 220 years old, none of us know anything for sure...
Interesting that the Errant Handling marks spared the portrait entirely, yet formed a Waterskiing Snoopy in the right obv. field
And I DO love the coin, did i not say it emphatically enough?
Funny how we'll discuss the features of random normal coins at length, but for major coins, not.

Sort of like reading cloud pictures? Hard to imagine anyone would really create graffiti in such a small space. The dog head I can see, but not the water skis.

It is sad that people nowadays feel the need to badmouth any coin graded less than 69.

Since when are honest observations and questions "bad mouth"? The wonderful coin and it's surfaces are what they are.
Why the censorship?

You'd think the best eyes in the business would discuss what we all can plainly see. Guess not.

Honest? I doubt it. You’re the only one making such observations and only in the threads that I start. It’s BS and you need to knock it off.

As a side project, you are only a large cent and half eagle away from a 1799 mint set.
Although they don't exist in 65 grade, they do exist in Unc. But only the one 1799 cent has been graded new.

Not the only one with a pair of eyes and frontal lobes; receiving a lot of PMs. Will admit to being, apparently, the only one with a pair of stones

Take a glass an an open mind to it Bruce- you might find that the 1799 half eagle and 1795 eagle are worth even more than you think.
I thought the buyer of the First US dollar might be interested in this

No, I’m not interested in someone calling bagmarks on my coins ‘graffiti’. Perhaps English isn’t your primary language, but such a term is offensive

PS: bags of coins very rarely leave long, thin, curved and angular marks on each other, and especially not just on the flat, lowest relief fields. 😉

The coins are far too magnificent to be insecure about, or to let one opinion about them run you off.
