1828 large cent

[goldbill]

Two of us went back to the city fairgrounds that had produced some silver earlier this year. Indian Kirk immediately headed for the woods((typical). I was a little behind him and going to a different spot when I noticed what had been snow the last time we were here was rototilled land .It looked like someone started a garden but didn't plant last year. The ground was real soft and fluffy.As I am cutting across this I get a nice deep high tone. I thought probably a tomato Gismo, but decided to dig . Out comes a 1828 large . Being the good partner I am I go up into the woods get the Indian and told him he should help me do this garden spot. On his first pass he gets a large!!A little later he scores his first v nickel!! The ground here is terrible I can read the liberty better that the date probably got a dose of fertilizer . thanks for looking HH Goldbill Forgot to mention the snuff tin Merry Widows............. They knew even back then!! One whole dollar too that was a lot of money....

Congrats Kirk on your first V. If you post some close ups of that largie I bet someone can narrow down a date range for you.

This is my first posting. I recently found the same tin and also thought it was a snuff tin. Mine was badly damaged but readable. They were also reusable. Congats on the large cent.
