I don't find many coppers, and I know even less, so I'll take everyone's word: Shazam! Haven't seen that word on TNet for awhile, I'll bet. Great find!

WAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOO, Mr. Chain Cent Dude, this is a BANNER find, super special find, and one helk of a great recovery by any standards. :notworthy: Finds like this are what get my metal datecting, Colonial-seeking jib up every morning. :notworthy: Finds like this are what get my metal datecting blood a pumping every single day of my metal datecting life. :notworthy:

BAAANNER...Yup. :notworthy: "Best Of" issue...Yup. :notworthy: King of Tnet at this moment...Yup. :notworthy: King of Tnet for the entire year...Yup. :notworthy: King of Tnet forever...well, I don't think Tnet will be still up and running 10,000 years from now. :notworthy: :D

I bow to your professional skills in excavation, preservation, and intelligence in not cleaning that buggard anymore! :notworthy:

ANALOG all the way! :notworthy:

The super duper dream find, gets the blood flowing just knowing someone found one. You are certainily in dreamville, congrats. In my opinion this coin cant be topped in the american coin category for a detecting find. Not many minted but there was enough out there to be dropped and eventually found. We are all in awe of your find. I am in the process of sending my 1877 indian to NCS I think you should do the same regardless of cost. It will be cleaned by the pros and slabbed. Thanks for finding such a great colonial copper, I think the coin nuts among have looked through the red book at the chain cent at one time or another and dreamed, yours came through. The best of the best. WOW WOW WOW

Dang, I guess it don't get no better than that!
Super congratulations!
I just read somewhere that there were only 36,000 minted and only 2000 left in existence.
Pretty cool! The first coin minted by the U.S.
SWEET!!!!
