1838 Matron Head Large Cent

Had a long hunt with SouthJerseyJim at a couple of his pounded sites. I came away with a very nice 1838 large and a few buttons along with a very fried Indian. No pics of the buttons, left my collecting pouch in the truck. Jim had a handful of buttons. Artie

Re: 1838 Braided Hair Liberty Head Large Cent

See what I mean about that field Art. You go there one day and find a button. And go there another day and boom a copper loud as can be at 6". That field has been pounded so hard I can't believe there are any signals. yet we go again and again and pull coppers...I know theres another flowing hair laying on its side somewhere out there. :headbang:

Re: 1838 Braided Hair Liberty Head Large Cent

One of the nicest large cents I have seen in a long time! (BTW, it is not a Braided Hair, it is a Coronet or Matron Head)

Neil, thanks for the heads up it is a 1838 matron head, not a braided. Correction made... Arty
