I love it as well! This was an impulse purchase, plain and simple.
I was at a local monthly coin show on Sunday and I just wanted to have a small 200-year piece of history that I could easily pull out of my pocket and share with a friend or a relative.
It would be very cool to see the actual lineage of these types of coins; who they touched, and what geography they traveled during their circulation!
There is something about half cents and large cents that really intrigues me. I collect other series but old copper just grabs me in a way that other coins don't. Add in the die varieties and I am completely smitten.

This is the "plain 1809," right? No variety?
<< <i>VG details. Dunno 'bout the variety. Wait for the EAC guys on that. >>
Thanks for the feedback; will do...
Who/where are the EAC guys?
If no one chimes in by this evening, I'll take a stab at attributing it for you.

Thanks so much... I assume that it's common and R1?

Yes, R1 and weakly struck, with rim breaks and often rotated reverse.

Net 7 - slight porosity, a few dings, bad rim issues
