A One Cent 1796 American Penny

Ahh a short break from Kansas to focus on Eastern History. Well what we have here is a Very Rare US large cent Copper created on the year yes yes---1796 . This coin was made by hand from fine art carfully etched into the die and them hand punched with a screw press. I find this coin beautiful and had to get one with the most detail and as early dated as possible. This design carried on until 1807 and a new face was put on the cent. --- Well as im proud to have such a coin and decided to show in to the world--that indeed there were beautifuly created designs even way back then.
