FIRST LARGE CENT !
TODAY I FOUND A 1855 LARGE CENT WITH FULL LIBERTY . THE DATE IS A LITTLE TOUGH TO SEE BUT THE REST OF THE COIN LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. THAT 1800'S COIN SHOP IS STILL PRODUCING!

I was 20 feet from Etrac007 when he found it. That was quite a shout of joy I heard when he first found it. Good Job Etrac!

Re: FIRST LARGE CENT !
Wooohooo!!! That's an awexome find and enough to warm you up completely on a chilling day like today. I'm guessing you'll be back there again tomorrow. Good luck, maybe you'll find your second LC! Congrats on a really great find Mike!

Re: FIRST LARGE CENT !
Super job on that LC
Some of those "largies" in the 1850's were notorious for weak date strikes. Nice!!

Re: FIRST LARGE CENT !
Congratulations on the Big Penny Mike! By the time you are done detecting that location you will likely be close to completing a U.S. Type Coin collection with all the different goodies you have been finding there. Gold coin is next!
