  10 cents each??? I want to shop at YOUR flea market! You have at least two early U.S large cents pre-1808 ..a few George II halfpennies (1730-54) and at least one George I halfpenny (1719-24). Once you get done ID'ing them all, I'd love to know what you actually have. And if you need help, I will be glad to take a crack at each one. You never know with these old coppers!

  << <i>Yes I was slumming this morning at the local flea market. A few have dates 1803 and 1805. I have not identified them all yet but it should be fun trying. Cost me 10 cents each

  For that price, there is a nice coolness factor, no matter

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  So far 5 are large cents from the draped bust series. 1802, 1803, 1805 and 2 I cant make out
  
  1807 half cent
  
  a virginia half penny
  
  2 slicks with a diameter of the virginia half penny
  
  the rest look like british and irish pennies

  if there is anything at all visible on either of the slicks, maybe you can post closer shots--maybe one of us can still tell something. I thinks its always worth trying to identify even "worn slicks". Who knows if you'll find you have a 1790s half cent or rare colonial considering the grouping you have.

  I will try to get better pics. I may have to revert back to my old point and shoot though. I bought a higher end camera but have not sat down and really figured the thing out yet.
  
  I did leaf through the colonial portion of the redbook but no matches that I can tell. I may try to attribute some of the large cents with the remaining detail.
