177(?7) KG & Holed Large Cent

Here are photos of cleaned up Large Cent and King G found last weekend. If you see pre-cleaned photo of Large Cent front -- you can see where hole in middle is filled, but I didn't see it until I knew about it after Earthworks cleaned it. He found the remains of the string still jammed into the hole, pretty cool. As for KG back shown, I think I see 1777, but last number is not certain.

Nice finds Bergie. I haven't found a KG since last spring when we were hunting together. I think I'm overdue!

Too bad about the hole. Nice that you broke into the 1700's
