Large Cent pie crimper. Tough to find. I FINALLY have one!!! UPDATED: 5/23/2021 on page 2

MWallace · February 5, 2012 6:02AM

I've been wanting one of these for years. They're tough to find,,,, especially with the original handle. These are the sellers pictures.

tightbudget · February 5, 2012 6:04AM

Congrats! I've seen these before but I don't think I've ever seen one with the original handle intact.

rawmorgan · February 5, 2012 6:09AM

That is cool

coinkid855 · February 5, 2012 6:10AM

That's awesome!! There was a thread recently with a large cent with the edges carved like that...I wonder if that's what it was supposed to be!

Interesting VAM.

Walkerguy21D · February 5, 2012 6:40AM

Very cool indeed!

hchcoin · February 5, 2012 6:49AM

Ditto on the cool factor

ricko · February 5, 2012 6:53AM

I have seen them without the handle, hole in center etc... first one I have seen with the handle. Neat. Cheers, RickO

TomB · February 5, 2012 6:55AM

That is cool! Now, are you going to bake a pie?

ColonialCoinUnion · February 5, 2012 6:59AM

I too have never seen on with a handle.

291fifth · February 5, 2012 7:14AM

The first I have seen with a handle. I first saw such a coin a bit over 30 years ago when I was looking through a business associate's accumulation.

DNADave · February 5, 2012 7:17AM

Awsome....almost folk art-like, and real symbol of how blessed we are today.

ModernCoin · February 5, 2012 7:19AM

Wow that's cool! Thanks for sharing and let us know how the pie turns out

AnkurJ · February 5, 2012 7:20AM

mmmm.....pie!

BigMoose · February 5, 2012 7:26AM

Hey, I think that is the 15 star 1817 variety( N-16 ).

fastfreddie · February 5, 2012 7:48AM

Now if that was mine I'd use it! I just baked something for my wife and used moderm pastry wheel.

Very cool

edix2001 · February 5, 2012 9:27AM

<< mmmm.....pie! >>

mmmm ... coin pie!

CaptHenway · February 5, 2012 10:21AM

Have had a few of the coins, but never seen one with the handle.

GoldClause · February 5, 2012 11:30AM

1837 ravioli roller...very nice!

Now how cool would it be to collect L.C. pie crimpers by variety

BryceM · February 5, 2012 1:06PM

Nice pickup, but you'll have to pay extra for the custom slab......

Sonorandesertrat · February 5, 2012 1:11PM

That is a very neat piece. Congratulations, ya done good.

kiyote · February 5, 2012 1:37PM

I'm an Americana/Antiqities/Primitives nerd and I've never even heard of such a thing! Awesome!

thatoneguy · February 5, 2012 2:44PM

That's way cool!

MWallace · February 5, 2012 8:27PM

<< did the ebay seller realize it was a large cent or was that a pure ripe cherrypic? >>

LOL!

TwoSides2aCoin · February 5, 2012 9:08PM

Going to bust it out to get it into a Genuine holder ?

kaz · February 5, 2012 10:35PM

great find!

Yukoncornelius1 · February 6, 2012 12:56AM

I've been a pie guy my whole life (I even had my Mom make me pie on my Birthday instead of cake) so to see a neat item like yours is truly a treat!!!

steveben · February 6, 2012 1:08AM

that is very cool. please tell us you're going to put it to use at least once.

crypto79 · February 6, 2012 1:12AM

Couldn't have said it better

lkeigwin · February 6, 2012 1:14AM

Love it! I've never seen one with a handle either. Looks like an 1817 N6. LOL.

ThePennyLady · February 6, 2012 1:37AM

I echo everyone's comments - that is SOOOOO COOOOL!!! I would LOVE to have one with a handle. I've seen pictures of the handles detached, and I have two so-called "pie cutters" or "gears" (see below) but I've never seen them together. What an amazing find - congratulations!

johnny9434 · February 6, 2012 6:05AM

I never seen one of them before. Nice pick up.

Cocoinut · February 6, 2012 6:40AM

That's an interesting PIEce of Americana. I imagine that all pie crimpers made from coins were home-made. I wonder what a commercially-made one would have cost - probably no more than 5 cents.

bob48 · February 6, 2012 9:24AM

I have never seen one of those before, Now I have seen them with and without the handle. Are there different types? OR are they just lumped together?
Thanks for showing/sharing!
Bob

MWallace · February 6, 2012 10:39AM

Thanks to everyone for the really nice comments.

Spooly · February 6, 2012 10:55AM

Very neat. I have never seen one.

fastfreddie · February 29, 2012 1:32AM

Another handled uncrusty one.

USSID17 · May 22, 2021 1:59PM

Amazing what imaginations people have when it comes to coins!

It probably was. As the OP says, they are hard to find with the original handle intact. Most that you see are just the coin.

Large Cent pie crimper. Tough to find. I FINALLY have one!!! UPDATED: 5/23/2021 on page 2
