Description

The listing, AMAZING 1800 Draped Bust Large Cent has ended.

Be a proud American and hold a piece of US history in your hands! This classic large cent was minted in Philadelphia TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN years ago. Imagine our young country when this coin came out of the mint, blazing a shiny red color. John Adams was President and Thomas Jefferson was Vice President. George Washington had just died the previous December. Our country was expanding across the Appalachians but as we had not yet acquired the Louisiana Purchase, the US had its western border at the Mississippi River. I am pretty sure that a coin like this has never been offered on Listia and I am starting this at a low price so everyone can have a chance. This was bought at an estate from a reputable collector and I will head off the comments by saying, THIS IS NOT A FAKE. Shipping with tracking will be provided for FREE. It is a wonderful feeling to hold this coin in your hand, believe me. Good luck everyone!

Apparently the mint recycled an unused 1798 die (with all digits punched in) and made an 1800 die out of it .This one of the semi scarce 1800/79 S-194 Sheldon numbered 1800 overdates and the coin would be labeled as "Environmental Damage". ... / .Mark
