Early American copper is my favorite area in US coins to collect, have a nearly complete collection of both large cents and half cents with some colonials as well

[@TheQuickSilver101]

Old books like that are fun. Very few people use those anymore. Thanks!

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

For whatever reason- early large cents are my favorite coins.

[@Trilobita98]

I picked up a F/VF 1801 draped bust cent (1/000 variety) and am loving the coin! Just sent it off to ngc to be graded.

[@Tim51376]

your channel is so underrated . thanks for the videos

[@kevinpoggensee]

Love those old copper cents. Very cool coins.

[@siddo1591]

Another great video, Ben! Folks need to start sharing this channel... So much to be learned! Thank you!

[@barnesmultimedia2725]

Ben, do more of these hot-takes on a particular series of US coins. I learned a lot.

[@MarkB3h]

So much to love about the early large cents. Classic flowing hair and draped bust motifs. 1/100 fractions! Impressive historical context. Not cheap, however. Thanks for a fun, educational video.

[@edwardaustin740]

Beautiful specimens.

[@ericdelmar2618]

I really enjoy the deep-dive approach here, as well as the acceptance of pitted or nearly slick old coppers. These old coins were the stuff of commerce in our new nation, a few traded for a loaf of bread or some saddle work. Mind-blowing.

Hi Ben. An Electrotype coin is not a restrike. Actually, they are not struck at all. They are electrocuted.

Thanks for your educational videos!

Pretty neat S-166 1798. Always one of the coolest varieties imo

[@davidvandebrake8454]

I just sent in a few early cents myself 1798 1800 and 1801 they will come bck AG to G but I enjoy early cents . I'd love to get a 1793 or 94 but there just so pricey with any kind of details left to them . Great video Ben.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

Kinda miss having one of those from that era. Had an 1803 that the Blackbook Price Guide labeled as a mumps variety. Had to eventually sell it as part of a collection to help make ends meet in hard times. Today, I have one, but from the next era, I am guessing 1835, as the date is practically gone, but based on details still remaining.

[@tommoore707]

I enjoy pre 1800 coins. You don't need ms65 or better . To have a great collection.

[@briank7936]

I like the type coin videos. As long as they aren't more Morgan type ones.

[@goldsilverjunkie]

I'm still trying to finish my half dollar drap bust collection 😊

[@kellypedder3512]

Thank you ❤

[@josefigueroa3930]

Very good video ben i have decided not to long ago i want to collect the flowing hair type the half dime half dollar and the one dollar but ill do it one step at a time because these even in nice low grade still will cost alot of money 💵

[@jerryspencer2598]

Enjoyed the video; now I'm looking at a couple of 1794's on ebay.

[@chihuahuaverde425]

Did you get any? :)

[@57Koba]

Great video! Thank you for putting it together.

[@Earlycopperkraz88]

Beautiful copper.

[@dmitrypopenko1129]

Draped bust half cents and large cents are my favourites.

[@Richard-om7vd]

Excellent video, Ben.

[@Chris__Scott]

Is this collection or coins from it going to be for sale? The 1806 looked nice.

[@erikbrantner4295]

Just my professional opinion on the 1797,
I believe it to be genuine and not a re-strike..
Judging from what I see in the video...
But you can get a second opinion,send it in to a grading company 👍

[@daviswall3319]

Very interesting Mr Geek!

[@rasbobbo]

AG is almost good? That’s me, most days.

[@BullionBeast]

Awesome video, thanks

[@PoorRichardsAlmanac]

I wonder what you could buy back in 1793 with a large cent?

[@weststephan5253]

Alaska! lol.

[@airframer4life672]

Also my favorite coins

[@kurgin]

Hi Ben, my red book says the 1795 plain edge had 501k minted, your whitman album says 82k?

[@awakenotwoke4830]

Some of the high mintage numbers surprise me. In 1800 there was 5 million people. 800k were slaves. Seems like they made a lot of cents.

[@williamguirl7735]

Kleenex holding that 1795 in place, lol, been there, done that!

[@masterofcents.8175]

The rabbit hole goes so deep that there’s no way one human could know it all. I’ve been hunting errors and varieties for well over 35 years. The day that I think I know it all is the day I’m senile… lol

[@stevemontanya7421]

What no 1815 large cent or 1816 busthalf dollars minted. Why ? Ben

[@billmason533]

Could only guess had something to do with those guys in Red burning our capitol and shooting at us.

[@dr.osborne7510]

I think it was yellow fever. 1815 is the only year from 1793 to date with no cents. Something similar with half dollars, but with 1816. Other denominations had large gaps, but not those. Half eagles are pretty solid until 1917

[@gastondoumerc7863]

The War of 1812 resulted in a trade embargo of copper to the US. By the time of minting the 1815 cents our planchet supply was nearly exhausted, so they skipped a year.
