found this on saturday at a stone foundation near a old well opening in the woods. when i dug it it looked kinda fat.(thick) and on sunday got around to cleaning it up and this is it-! man its like hitting the lottery-!!. all the large cents i found over the years never thought i find one of these.
Unbelievable, and in great shape too. Careful with the reverse and your cleaning methods--but I don't have to say that since I'm sure you already looked at the price tag for this baby.

Is that just caked on dirt on the obverse? It's odd looking. Are you going to clean it more? This is a banner item if it is really a chain cent!
Are you sure that's a chain and not a wreath?
upper left side. you can see some of the chain.(links) yes it still has some caked dirt on it. but knowing what i have now i am not going to clean it any futher
