IgorS Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 To make the long story short - not much to buy. What else is new. I bought this nice denga. I know there are a lot of copper collectors here. Do these small coins ever come better than this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivna1726 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Do these small coins ever come better than this? If they do, then it can't be very often. I'm not a copper specialist, but that's as nice an example as I can remember seeing. Beautiful specimens like that one are a joy to behold. Congratulations!

alexbq2 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 A nice looking coin, Congrats! These days, people go a lot for the looks, so these little gems are hard to get. I can still see beauty in an ugly coin, so with your permission, let me submit this worn down hunk of copper for your approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coin is pleasant enough for the grade. Decent and even color, nice planchet and even wear. Not bad. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The reason that I am so eager to share my not so lustrous find is in the cypher, note that this is an 1841 coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look at your coin for a while looking for the answer, but was too lazy to stay with it. I will pay more attention next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to alexbq2 for spotting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
