Have been hitting an old colonial field with super sandy soil the last few trips and the finds havn't been a ton but they are quality. A george I farthing popped up as well as a Charles or William on the last trip as well as a liberty cap half cent by my brother. A good amount of buttons, some soild cast have also been found. This was the last target of the day and a real treat. Big thick american copper! You can see the die crack across the "7" that indicates S-44. The farmer was cut harrowing it to seed it so the days are numbered there. Hopefully 1 more trip is possible.

That's in incredible condition! That one I would even consider having conserved by a pro. That thing could be worth some serious cash! WTG!

I'm pretty sure I've never seen one with so much intact detail of the hair , if you were to have that "conserved" by PCGS (for example) I wonder if they could get down through the encrusted parts ?

What a treat to see a Liberty cap in that condition. You just gotta love that sandy south Jersey soil.

Thanks fellas. I was unaware that grading services cleaned your coins. It would be worth some serious cash if it wasnt ground found and in AU condition.

Wow! That's a lot of detail for a very early copper. The lettering of the edge of the coin puts it in a class by itself. Fall will be here before you know it, and you can get back in that field and follow-up with a Chain Cent!:headbang:

Jim that's an incredible addition to your collection! The edge lettering is fantastic. Congrats buddy. I can't seem to get any earlier than 1797 with my LCs. I have a stack of those lol.
