That does seem a bit intriguing how the unequal coin sizes were in circulation together. I wonder what went through people's minds when they first saw the smaller cents. Was it the same as when they started selling the 56 Oz ice cream at the half gallon price? Inflation was already plaguing at 150 years ago. lol. Nice score on those cents. They are in good shape.

...And yet again it is good to learn something from Bridannica again.
