Woohoo happy dance(UPDATED PICS)

1838 large cent in my basement woooooooohooooooooo ,, cleaning out more mud from the french drains and out pops this beauty, she has some good details even a bit pitted but she made me happy,, so in my book this my banner find for the year., i figure for some of the new guys and gals here to give you a idea of the size of a LC compared with a current cent and a Half dollar






Looks like i was wrong the date now show 1833 after a week of soaking in olive oil

Lucky find! Looks like a patina over the coin, may be better preserved than you think. HH, Mike

Nice Large Cent. I have found 4 of them and the last one was the only one I could get a date off of. It was a 1824 but just my luck someone drilled a hole through the center of it. We should not need to wait to much longer here in PA (if that is what the penn state is for) to be able to get out and dig. Best of luck hunting this season.
