How about a 1793 to current chronological coin thread!

[AnkurJ]

One coin per post. No skipping years. Let's try to get to 2013 by New Years!

Let's make it fun!

 

I'll start with 1793

 

Next up is another 1793 or a 1794.

Seems to me we should start with the half cent.... just kidding...don't throw anything at me

[Coindude]

This is my 1794 cent. Graded genuine due to the scratches I guess, but I love it and it's all mine!

Okay, I'll post one the classic coins, the 1796 Quarter. I could run the first decade or so here, but I won't. When you get into the 1820s and later it gets hit and miss for me.

My rarest coin.... Less than 60 graded in any grade at any TPG

[bartlesvilleok]

Love the coins I am seeing so far. Still going to be a while before I can join in.

I sold me 1798 $5 so nothing to post next

Anyone else?

[AnkurJ]

Moving to 1799 tomorrow.

This 1798 Bust dollar is a Bolender - 17 and a BB-101. It was the plate coin for the variety in David Bowers' two volume silver dollar variety book set and was listed as a condition census piece for the die pairing. It was dropped completely from Bowers' one volume Bust dollar update book so go figure.

 

[AnkurJ]

1798 in a big way!

[BillJones]

Okay. Let's get over the "prior to 1800 hump" and see if we can go from there. The 1799 $10 gold piece is the most common date amoung the early eagles. This piece was the large stars is the most common 1799 eagle variety.

This was the first Draped Bust half dime I had ever seen with sharp detail. Another collector owned it. I left a standing offer to buy it from him. He wanted my 1792 half disme. As it turned out he blinked first.

Don't stop now! Almost to where I can play.

How many more years do you need? I hesitate to take over with a string of years, but my string will run out shortly.

[Coindude]

Give an 1804 and I'll post my 1805 quarter.

[BillJones]

Here is an 1804 Spiked Chin half cent. This injured obverse came with four different reverses. This reverse is interesting because it has a big crack through it. This may have resulted when the obverse die was injured by a foreign object, maybe a screw. Cohen listed this as C-5 and rated it as an R-4.
