Very beautiful 1829 large cent! :read2: History lesson time - the early US copper large cent blanks were often shipped thousands of miles from their place of manufacture to the US mint to be stamped later. The blanks were stored in with the ballast stones of these wooden merchant ships and often were at sea for many weeks - even months. Leaks in the ship's hulls often led the blanks to be in contact with salt water for quite some time leading to pitting and corrosion. So by the time the blanks reached the US mint they were often already quite damaged. Many early US large cents would have been already pitted even when they were freshly stamped out at the US mint as a result of this.

All half cents are good, and some are better than others. Yours is a nice one! That button is probably a scarce one, but I am fascinated with that 1919 nickel. I haven't seen many that nice come out of the ground. (..and I'm old! :D)
Good Luck!
