My last 3 hunts of the year, (and last), have yielded my first Liberty Cap, a crusty CFT. George II, 4 LC's, and 2 crusty IH's,(1 fatty). My Friend Santo also found his VERY FIRST COIN! Definitely Colonial, but as we know it to be, a colonial slug! Only tiny bits of detail on it. Still trying to figure this one out. The Liberty Cap was found at the same place. When I pulled the Liberty Cap out, the detail was awesome. Must have been pitted because I lost some after the peroxide. Was still easy to ID the variety. A nice key date for this series with only 109,000 minted. HH Hogge

November was the month of the Liberty Cap! We saw a bunch posted (none from me). Even though yours is not in great shape it is still a great find!

I have yet to find a Liberty Cap or a Braided Hair variety.

Good luck on the ID of the colonial!

You'll probably end up with somethin' better, like that token you sold for 5G's. Although my fall hunting was very limited due to work, I still managed quite a few LC's and a few colonials. I also have several great leads for the spring. HH Hogge

The Liberty Cap Large Cent is one of my favorite coins. I would REALLY like to dig one! All I have been able to find this fall are holed and cut coppers :-\
Killer find for sure !!
