Well I was on Ebay and came across what I thought was a steal on a Braided Large Cent Piece. From my phone at the time it seemed so nice I snagged in right away, now that I have scene it in person I think I understand the discount...probably the best piece of U.S history I have every owned! Edit-closer photo and better lighting
:lol: Who said fiat was worthless??! That is priceless. If it is a strike error it'd be worth a fortune. :lol:
I know, I'm extremely curious how it came to this. It appears the E is missing the whole middle line and center of the top line, had to have been intentional!
Prefer the new ones as well, not fond of how the patina sets in on the older ones. Closer to 1996 mintage the better!
Sadly it is just about every angle and lighting, her is a closer photo, almost looks like the bottom of the E was curved or something
