Re: 1780's Grist Mill , First 2011 Extra large Cent

Very cool! Always interesting to see how people used to improvise back in the day. Probably easier to work a cent into whatever they need rather than spend more on a smithed part? I've seen one that was carved intricately into a working gear... pretty cool!

I would still call it a copper ! The Classic Head Cent series were made on inferior or "junk" planchets. This is why they are so hard to find in higher grades. Maybe the "junk" planchet is why it cracked :dontknow: They should have used a Draped Bust ;D

:o Maybe A Draped Bust would of been a better choice :dontknow: Thanks VPR

Re: 1780's Grist Mill , First 2011 Extra large Cent

Man Dawg, that Largie was pretty dang well mangled up and down. There's no telling what purpose that it served and how it ended up looking that way but its definitely

different than just finding your run of the mill Largie. That Shoe Buckle piece is sweet too, and dang near whole. The other piece may still be out there hiding somewhere.

Congrats on a solid First hunt of 2011 my friend!! :headbang: :headbang:
