Hit A Patch Of Weeds, And Found An Old Penny Patch With 2 Large Cents

[John-Edmonton]

Headed out for a hunt this evening, and I lucked out and dug some old pennies in some weedy area. I was quite surprised to find 2 large cents. They aren't in the best of shape, but you can still read the dates. I have them soaking in some oil presently, to see if I can get some of that turquoise copper oxide off without pitting the coins.


The large cents make beautiful coin-rings as shown below. I made these last winter to beat the blues......
