1818 1C MS63BN PCGS #1600

I was thinking, wouldn't it be satisfying to re-unite specimens of the Randall Hoard, all in PCGS Generation-1 holders? This charming example is my first. Quoting from Q. David Bowers' chapter on the subject, "It seems to be the consensus that a small wooden keg filled with uncirculated copper cents was found beneath a railroad station platform in Georgia after the Civil War, but before autumn, 1869." The Georgia merchant who discovered the hoard was John Randall; hence, the name. Five thousand to ten thousand uncirculated, copper Coronet Cents dated 1816, 1817, 1818, 1819, and 1820 are believed to be among the coins found, making these years somewhat more available in Mint State. As an N-10 variety, I believe this coin was part of the hoard.
