Large cent 1 silver 0 "1828"

[Dirt fishing Wolf]

Hunted yesterday at a field site I've been having good luck at.
Found an 1848 L.C. last year and Marinedad pulled an 1850 from here.
The field was still muddy and very difficult to MD so I worked the
ditch up to the edge of the field. Found the unreadable date L.C. and 2 wheaties 17 & 20.
This L.C. isn't the young head type so it must date before 1836.

Great Find -- I'd take that over any 1900's silver except perhaps a dollar. You have a Matron head, so 1816-1839. Hate that when you can't get a date off of those.

After 3 days of hot HP soaking I got the coin to reveal its date 1828.

[marinedad]

wow rich, is that your oldest coin dug?

[Dirt fishing Wolf]

wow rich, is that your oldest coin dug?

Yes it is. Last year I dug my oldest coin dug from the same site, a 1848 L.C..
You also had your oldest coin dug from their also, right?

Glad the HP Sauce worked... Too bad it wasn't 1824, but still very cool

Awesome find! I don't have a large cent yet. I think I would have a heart attack if I got one. Congratulations!
