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.

Supreme once in a lifetime find

That coin could be lightly cleaned (reverse side only) by a pro (nobody else) and it's worth $$$.

The front should never be cleaned. it's perfect as is.

Personally I'd never sell it.

Congrats.

I doubt it will help too much. Yeah, there is some detail showing, but I think the fertilizer did too much damage to recover from.

That would be a dream find of a lifetime for me

That is really nice. I dug one a couple years ago with good detail on the front and back and the one hundred for a dollar is clear but the date was evidently a weak stamp and you can't see the date at all.

Wow a dream find

It looks like mine was stamped heavier on the bottom of the coin right where the date is, The word Liberty on the top is not a high relief. The crenelations around the coin is also evident at the bottom and side but not at the top. I would like to see your coin.

This brings up an interesting topic.........do we think this coin sat face down for 200+ years and the fertilizer (or standing water) killed the reverse and left the obverse in good shape??

200+ years of frost heaves and field plowing didn't flip this coin at some point??

I have many Large Cents, Indian Heads and Wheats that have the same problem, one side good, one side bad........ and many times this happens in a place that hasn't seen any fertilizer........very interesting.......thoughts anyone?

HH all!!
