    Re: Down Cellar

    Awesome finds. I've found that many flat buttons in one day, but never so many with the shank/loop intact. Usually they're bent or missing. That Large Cent is nice. My oldest is 1827. I want to dig one from 1800 or before.

    Congrats on a good hunt!

    Nice overall hunt, Sniffy. Those large buttons always get my heart beating faster. They are the same size as GW inaugurals.

    yeah, every time I dig a "dandy" at first sight I think it's a large cent....But still equally excited.

    That large cent rocks!!!!! Still waiting for my first. I'm pretty sure it is only one of a few goals that I won't hit this year. Maybe next year though!

    I copied the photos and increased the brightness on them. It appears that your coin is a 1800/79 overdate and the best I can tell it seems to be a Sheldon-196 variety.

    This variety is listed as 'very common' but ain't none of 'em common when you're trying to find them, huh?

    Nice grab!

    very nice finds, love that 1800 LC and the dandy buttons

    One of my favorite finds is a dandy button that was down nearly 10 inches beneath some tree roots.
