With all the drivel and political mud slinging cra* in some threads this past week, and the repeats after repeats of similar cra* threads ... I use the term "cra*" loosely ...

I saw @MsMorrisine made a comment about how there was no Classic Coin theads recently.

Let's fix that cra*!

:D

.

1926 (the age of the classics) or 1826 (the golden age of federal coins).

Since both of those years are not entirely common through all issues, let's say 1920's or 1820's only.

I'll kick it off with an 1826 Half Dollar, which I really like, and don't think is cra*!

1826 O-114, P58cac (former N58)

    Love the different Commem's, World Coins (older, but mostly still 26 and 76's) and other coins posted.

    Let's keep it going!

    Centennial and Bicentennial coins were not requested. Just '26s.

    Yeah, but we got some anyway.

    And I'm good with some 1876 if you want to show of some of those Seated girls!

    I was just trying to stay Classic in the sense of 1926 and before, with the century mark as a kind of binder.

    Just one 1776, and it is a guinea from our enemies, the Brits. I'm taking my 1876s over to the half dollar parade where they're wanted.

    300 years ago- possibly used in the Colonies but doubtful

    Please keep in mind that our host has now graded a total of 9 for the date

    I trust many of the posters of 1826 coins are aware of the historical significance of that year - both Jefferson and Adams passed on July 4 1826. Y'all can do the math 👍

    This is my only coin from the 1820’s.

    I like that one! Two years with one coin. ;)

    Not the best image (are TV's ever anymore?), and mine is the O-101, but this one has a bit of a story.

    I found this in a PCGS holder, which normally I would leave alone, but she seemed like she was labeled with the wrong grade (she was a P53). She was also a little bit whiter than I usually go after, and so I eventually decided I would crack it out, let her breathe for a while and put it in a kraft envelope.

    About a year later I decided I would resubmit it with some other coins, and was surprised that she had picked up a blush of color in between. She came back as a 55, which I agreed with, and since I liked the way she looked even more (the year she spent out of the plastic had helped her I think), and felt confident in her surfaces, I decided she had a shot for a CAC sticker too.

    I was rewarded with that as well. I figure I'm done playing games with her now, but she's a beauty and I'm glad she's still with me.

    .

    Wow ! Two Beautiful 1827/6s, I figured I would add my own example

    1827/6 AU53
