Besides a couple of low grade 1798 cents, this is the only pre 1800 coin that I own. I have had this coin for many years. It is definitely one of my favorites. Let's see some of your coins minted before 1800.

    This coin has seen a lot of action :)

    A large part of the charm, to me, of a coin like that is that it HAS seen use. Minted before Washington became president, it circulated for many years, "seeing" many things at a special time.

    You're too kind... I suppose if I could be satisfied with just one stunning coin, I could, for instance, sell all of my early copper an buy one 1793 Chain in an acceptable condition... or a really nice 1793 wreath. Or, sell my entire 7070 and get either a 1796 Quarter or SE Half... but quantity has a quality all it's own and I don't think I would be satisfied just looking at just one coin...
