after encasing the cent, judging by the marks on the cent's rim. Is this correct?

This was in a collection of Proof Indians I got in all in their original auction flips from 1986 and earlier.
25 inf 1/14 Gold Dragons ,never surrender, over come and adapt
and hold at all cost!
He took my worthless and hastily thrown up pics that I posted looking for some information--and turned them into this. The obverse is not so dark in hand but that is my fault with the image. Very nice with what I give him to work with and I thank him for the effort.
An old coin but very new to me.

well, not exactly new, but they're new to me
just getting started on the pre-federals, taking it slow, what do you think?
(at about a hundred bucks each, am I getting steals or am I getting fleeced?)

I really like that one!!

AS far as copper goes..
I always forget to post this one . I have not seen many die cracks on a 1909vdb, maybe I just miss seeing them.
I just think that they are cool.
I also need to image this one better so you can see it.

My Ebay
1934-1958 RB Lincoln Short Set
Newp, 3/11.
#022: Aelius. R6.
Caesar ca. 136-138 AD.
The adopted son and intended heir of the emperor Hadrian, Aelius never attained the throne, as he died shortly before Hadrian. Aelius' son, Lucius Verus, however, later became co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius.
<< <i>Aelius Sestertius, Spes reverse, RIC II 1055
Aelius Sestertius, 137 AD, Rome.
Obv: L AELIUS CAESAR, bare head right.
Rev: TR POT COS II / S - C, Spes walking left, holding flower and raising skirt.
31-32 mm, 22.75 g
RIC II, 1055
Good fine/fine. Inexpensive yet beautiful portrait Sestertius of this short-living caesar. >>
I was considering some medium to low-grade bronze As coins of Aelius, which were about all I could afford. When I saw this big, fat sestertius and realized I had a chance to get an even bigger coin with the same detail (which I could actually afford), I knew I had to have it.
Purchased from Rutten & Wieland in Switzerland, the same source from which I found my last surprisingly-affordable rare sestertius: the Galba, above. The Galba, at 35-36 mm, is the largest coin in my collection; a massive, chunky thing. I'll be pleased to feel the weight of this Aelius in hand- no doubt it is a big "fattie", as well. As with my previous purchases two days earlier from Incitatus, I caught a "10% off" sale on this one, which makes it all the nicer.
Newp, 3/12.
#124: Theodosius II. R3.
Long-reigning Eastern emperor circa 402-450 AD.
<< <i>"Cross" AE4 of Theodosius II (402-450 AD), Roman Empire
DN THEODOSIVS PF AVG, diademed bust right / CONCORDIA AVG, Cross within wreath. 11mm, 1.0 grams. >>
The seller called it "rare", but what eBay seller doesn't abuse the word a time or two? I doubt this type is particularly rare, but who cares. It fills an empty slot in the set. I bought this one off eBay, meaning this is only the second coin I've picked up there for this collection. Ebay is probably fine for inexpensive pieces like this, anyway. (Not to mention the seller is also a VCoins dealer, and VCoins is where I buy most of my Roman coins. Ironically, the only other one I've bought on eBay was a rare piece, a Pupienus sestertius, but since it's a published plate coin, I wasn't worried about its authenticity.)

Just tried to post the same stuff again.
I'll have to put something different here.

Thisnamztaken's pretty chocolate-brown 1826 cent oozes with character, and dbemike's rosy 1926 Lincoln positively glows.
Though a century apart and in very different grades, those two coins right there sum up the appeal of copper to my eyes, and I guess that's what these threads are all about.

This isn't exactly a new purchase (bought this last summer from Jim D.), but I finally got around to imaging her;

Whats up with that 38s..............I like it
And for one I actually paid for (although not much
Im not sure how the corrosion will change the grade, but Id give that coin a solid AU58
