Glad you could stop in rasrandy.That is one excellent Large Cent you dug there.
It's in great condition for its age.It's a low mintage coin of only 389,000. Nice job!
Happy Thanksgiving to you to. Best of luck and HH!

R,

very, very nice coin.

Graded? Planning on selling it?

If I was selling perhaps I would get a
grading on it. Just keeping it, think I
would let it slide for now.

It's a very nice find

have a good un.......

Judging by what I see on ebay, it is worth at least several hundred bucks.

He paid for his detector with that one.

Yes, have it graded. It is a key date. Do not clean it.

Well done!
:)
