A first for me.....hello 1800's!

I dug this on Sunday while out with Civilman at the house he found the Shilling at. My first and only Large Cent that I dug. Best I can tell it is a 1810. The last two digits were barely visible when dug and the first two digits are gone. The back looks to be in great condition all things considered. Enjoy....I know I did! Thanks again Joe!
