Coin show purchases today....First ever 18th century coin, a Trilobite, and lots of Morgans!! LOTS o

I went down to the Central Florida Coin Club show in Orlando today. Here's some of the better stuff that I picked up....


1798 Large Cent...Help with attribution? Large die breaks on the reverse...This is my first 18th Century coin image
image


An 1878 7TF VAM 115....You can't see the TDO from the pictures, probably, but believe me, it's there.
image


An 1882 CC for my album....
image


Awesome crescent toner!
image


Another very cool toner.
image


Yet another toner, which now resides in my album as well.
image


Another Morgan I needed for my album.
image


Another one for the album.
image


A 1921 D with a lot of die cracks....VAM?
image


A 1921 S VAM 6A R5...Check out that awesome die gouge between the "B" and "U" on the obverse!
image


This one I need help with. It's a 1922 P Peace with what looks like a reverse die break...what do you guys think?
image
image


Here's another coin I need help with. No closeup on this one, but there is a raised area on the cheek. Is this a known VAM?
image


Here's the last coin I picked up today. I thought it was really cool, and I only paid 25 bucks for it! it's a Peace dollar struck on a cracked planchet.

image


I also bought this today. I though it was pretty cool! I paid $40, by the way. It's a Trilobite.

    Nice fossil! Looks a lot like Brittany what's-her-name, or maybe the guy driving the 1982 Caddy up the sidewalk in Boca...

    Very cool liked the cracked planchet and the trillobite the most due to their offbeat factor. image

  • hey thats cool. i was next door at the flea market but didnt have time to make it over. maybe next time
  • nice bunch of 'stuff'

    the 1921-D Morgan is a VAM 1O (oh, not ten)

    a very nice looking example !

    A fossile collection is pretty kool to have... I like that 1798 cent, as well as that crescent toner Morgan.
    Great pick-ups...

    I don't think so.

    I know I have one. It is interesting in the clash. The crack at DOLLAR is similar to VAM-N (unicorn D). Forget if this one is a VAM-1, a scribbling scratch, or some other listed one.

  • I likea few--

    The fossil looks nice, I'd guess Upper Silurian to mid-Devonian

    in a nice clean Limestone to weakly Dolomitic Limestone (Keyser? Fm.) matrix.image

    Thanks, but I'm not so sure either. I don't think the cracks are the same, and I'm pretty sure there isn't a break above the A, although the picture might make it look that way. I believe there are some scribbling die scratches below the eagle though....Perhaps it's a new VAM image

    Nice Trilobite. It appears to be one of the Moroccon specimens.

    Cool! I googled "Moroccan Trilobite" and found this page, which is very informative.
