Yesterday I had almost picked up a nice large cent from the 1840s. $35.
Well, I decided, "I will wait until I find one under $35."
So what do I see today in an antique store? 2 large cents.
1 was damaged and $10. I went for the more pricey one at $16, which is a little below what they have sold for in the last month online (in similar condition).
And I found it so ironic.
The Large Cent was used from 1793 to 1857. This is the radically different later design, begun in 1839.
very very nice find !! great American history here!!
It is good history.
I'm impressed ! Nice .
Had I stepped up to buy the early dime or very early nickel, you'd have been more impressed. :P
Spirit. It appears that CW has just been invaded by children with their current toys ! Pretty much ruining CW for me. I've "drummed" a few off before but it's just getting to be way too much ! I'll stop by & see if things get better in the future. I want to see interesting "collector's" items instead of other people's junk. A bientot !
Everything people buy can be collectible. Toys lead to reminiscence. Your leaving will lead to mass depression and despair. :P
If I stay & have to weed thru new toys to get to real collectibles for hrs., I might go crazy & end out in Battle Creek !!!
Just pulled the steel pin out of my toe yesterday & can now, maybe, escape the toy car invasion. Need to build my legs up anyway.
Drive 'em off a bluff.
You do know native history. Wish we could !!
First Western I read: The Lost Wagon Train, by Zane Grey. Santana(?) did that to the wagons. :P
