Great hunt and your 1859 cent , first year of the Indian cents , aka " fattie " . Definitely more worthy than a two word comment

Great early IH! Once in awhile we get lucky and the come out of the ground in great condition. I've got 2 really nice ones. Hope you find a bunch more

Not just a great find in great condition, but a one year type coin. They only made this one in 1859. It has the reverse with the laurel wreath without the shield. I found one about 30 years ago, but it can't hold a candle to yours. Really nice find.
