@Eddi, very nice.
I remember teasing you previously for owning FIVE 1821’s…. I only have three, 😂, and I’m hoping to post and sell two of them soon on the BST, along with a lot of other dupes I have squirreled away (unabashed spam, I guess).
Anyway, I really like your 1823 N2, super tough coin! As well as your N1.

I don't know how I ended up with 5, honestly .
It's interesting that only one is an N-1, the others are all N-2's. I thought they were supposed to be equally scarce.
Welcome back. Cool “1804” fantasy. I don’t have much in the way of large cents right now. Need to do something about that, I suppose. This is my sole example at the moment. Got it from @dpvilla on BST back in October of ‘24, according to my records.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
One of my highest grade draped bust examples, details graded for the reverse scratches but I can live with it because the rest of it I really love

These two aren’t too lofty…half cent is a 64 and large cent is a 63. When I was looking for the LC, I was obsessed over the sharpness of the stars…so many weak strikes out there and the flat stars really bother me for some reason. There’s not a single 1837 on CoinFacts with sharper stars, including any of the higher graded coins.

Nice... you have both the 1820s overdates, I'm still looking for an appealing 1824/22 example

Thanks... I reached a little for the 23/2. It's close to VF details but there's a gouge on the obverse to the right of Ms. Liberty that would likely prevent a straight grade. Otherwise, nice surfaces and decent color. Mea culpa... the 24/2 is a bit of a placeholder... I saw this G6ish VGish example that has all the diagnostics and I spend around $50 on it...

Just bought this one, one of my nicer matron head examples

Is that a 1799? I'm jealous, my placeholder is a gallery mint replica, not sure when I'll get a real one

No, it’s a ‘98.
I once thought I owned a ‘99, damaged on the reverse but a decent obverse, but it turned out to be a well made alteration that fooled several EAC dealers, including the seller.
I got the money refunded, but the real kicker was that I passed on the low grade but decent chain cent from the same collection in order to buy the ‘99. Arghhhh!

Ok, I’ll play some more:

Couple of type coins
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

These were already posted in the “new purchases” thread. My newps from the ANA:
From the Fred Borcherdt's Hall of Fame Collection sale:
Ex Naftzger/Reynolds/Borcherdt
From Early Cents on the bourse:
Ex: Naftzger/Denman
PCGS MS64RB
Both being ex Naftzger (aka “God”) is pretty cool. These are my second and third of his.
Empty Nest Collection
@renomedphys, that must be one of the nicest 1822 cents in existence!

Some more 1794 cents from my collection:
One that I like 👍
I kind of freaked out after I bought this, thinking it was too nice. I sold it shortly after buying it and restored my peace of mind.
This, however, is a large cent I am totally comfortable with.
