Take a look at this Early Date 1794 Large Cent! This coin, in our opinion, is in ABOUT GOOD condition. Well preserved considering its age, please take a look at the pictures and see for yourself! At no other time in American history was the one cent coin so important as it was in the closing years of the 18th century. Although cumbersome, the large copper coins were useful for very small transactions, unlike the wide variety of foreign coins then in circulation. Yet the Mint's ability to create dies and procure quality copper for these vital coins was hampered by inadequate machinery, inexperienced employees and lack of funds, not to mention frequent epidemics of yellow fever. It often cost more to produce a coin than its face value. The metal was mostly purchased in the form of planchets or blanks, but the domestic supply was inferior and resulted in dark, rough flans described as "black copper" by the Mint. Full of impurities, coins minted from this metal were of poor quality and wore rapidly. I will start this auction at just $39.99 and t will be NO RESERVE. I try to honestly describe everything I sell, but please view the pictures and grade for yourself. No warranties are expressed or implied in my opinion of the grades. Grading is an art, not a science. Several subjective factors of personal preference may be considered different by others. These include color, toning, strike, blemishes, and overall eye appeal.It is possible that two people will not always grade the same item alike. Also, as market conditions change, grading standards change, and will most likely continue to do so in the future. Each Bidder's own examination of the item(s) is the criterion and not the grade represented by another .
