When you can still read the date its all good, nice one.

It always kind of baffles me why one side is always toasted on the coppers, it's been probably hashed out a hundred times before on the forum.

As long as I could read the date, the back would be ok like that with me, Gary. Sure beats the 1950/1960 era cigarette lighter I found today, lol. Good luck on your next hunt!

I have a theory about that. When a coin is in the ground I believe the majority of them are laying flat. So one side or the other is facing up. I contend that rain washes all the chemicals down onto whatever side of the coin is facing up with the underside protected to a certain extent. Over time the side facing up takes the majority of the punishment from nature.

Hey Gary! I know I would be tickled pink to have found your LC. Not minty fresh, but still enough detail to clearly identify it which often is not the case. Congrats.

Wow, killer find Gary. The LC's have been few and far between for me. Have been digging for over 20 years and only managed a few. Longer than I want to admit since my last..... years. Congrats my friend.
