1794 Liberty Cap large Cent

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

CKK went back to the latest vanished homesite. Last week it produced a nice KG I, and 2 other colonials for Kyle. Kirk found a decent KG II and a Draped bust largie. I was skunked for coins. I did manage to find a button and a chicken toy which I am including in todays finds on this post. Today was a whole other ballgame for me. I found CKK's favorite coin of all times. Well at least realistically the favorite. A chain cent would trump it but my hopes are not up to that scale. A Liberty Cap ( Thicky ) Large cent is premiered ultimate if you ask me and this is exactly what I found. Not 30 minutes into my hunt my Whites Vision did it's thing and told me "Dig this obvious Copper you lunkhead" So I did. I immediately started to swoon and stammer out loud to K & K who wasn't 10 yards away. " It's a Thicky" over and over. I was about to do the Gibbon dance like I did last year when I found my last thicky but soon got ahold of myself and calmed a little. High fives and hand shakes were passed around liberally. 1794 Liberty Cap Large Cent to go into my collection. My first thick one this year. My 3rd over all. I found a half cent a couple of years ago. I did find a Liberty Cap thinny this year also. I just love how you can read ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR on the side of the coin. I see a new spot on the horizon for Sunday.

That's a great find Chris. That's the stuff we, in Alabama, dream about. Congrats on making banner.

I've always wanted to ask, can I go behind you and hunt the sites you're finished with. I'd be happy with the iron.

Good Luck Tuesday. I think IP is jealous.

PS-I'm sure glad you spell you name Chris.

Great coin!Is the tail of the chicken broken off?If not it is what is called battle trimmed and represented a favorite sport in the days by gone of cockfighting,very neat piece!

It's not broken off so it must represent a battle trimmed bird. Cool and thanks for the plug.

Nice going Chris. Bold date too!, it should clean up well. Can we see the reverse anyway so we can learn something about which variety it is? Thanks
