This plain edge large cent is part of my lowball set - all dated 1795. I cracked it out soon after purchase because the dandruff inside the holder bothered me too much, smh. In time, when PCGS gets a better grip on their TrueView quality control, I will re-submit. Sadly, 'washed-out rust' appears to be the default camera setting for copper. There are countless other examples, many worse than mine, of disappointing TrueView images that have entered the public domain in 2024 and 2025. If PCGS is using Artificial Intelligence in the photo lab, someone needs to pull the plug on that and return to what we all agreed upon was beautiful numismatic photography.

Overton 115, R.5 I was waiting behind someone at US Coins in Houston, Texas, peering through the glass counter, when I noticed it from a distance. I was smitten from the start! Protected in a desirable generation 4.4 holder, the coin has an aesthetic that would make Robert Scot smile! Remember, think like an artist, not an accountant. footnote: The TrueView image is perfect! PCGS photographed the coin without removing it from the holder, so I could experience the TrueView of this little jewel in all its glory. That was kind of them.
B-1, BB-21, 2 Leaves Variety, R.2 Curious as I was, I cracked it out! Protected now in an Air-Tite holder, I hide it away inside the bowels of my antique Victor safe. I have a private ritual. Periodically, on special holy days, I love to pull it out and hold it in my hand, to study it raw, the way Robert Scot intended. All this, while sitting at my mid-eighteenth-century figured maple writing desk, dovetailed for both strength and beauty. Amazed! I sit transfixed. Then, I put it back. Amen.
