Wow. Nice find. I've found a few large cents but I'm still looking ofr my first draped bust. Looks to be in great condition. Congratulations. There are several varieties of this year but with the condition it's in it might be worth as much as $100.00.... according to the 2008 Red Book.

I decided to try to improve your neat coin image. I copied it to Microsoft Office Picture Manager and added light. You can repost it if you want. I was just experimenting.

DUDE, that is an awesome find! Not just for the age but the condition. I can't find as good looking a coin in a coin shop - unless it's priced in the hundreds of dollars. Hope you don't get jaded by your early sucess. Welcome to TNET.
