1794 Liberty Cap large Cent

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

CKK went back to the latest vanished homesite. Last week it produced a nice KG I, and 2 other colonials for Kyle. Kirk found a decent KG II and a Draped bust largie. I was skunked for coins. I did manage to find a button and a chicken toy which I am including in todays finds on this post. Today was a whole other ballgame for me. I found CKK's favorite coin of all times. Well at least realistically the favorite. A chain cent would trump it but my hopes are not up to that scale. A Liberty Cap ( Thicky ) Large cent is premiered ultimate if you ask me and this is exactly what I found. Not 30 minutes into my hunt my Whites Vision did it's thing and told me "Dig this obvious Copper you lunkhead" So I did. I immediately started to swoon and stammer out loud to K & K who wasn't 10 yards away. " It's a Thicky" over and over. I was about to do the Gibbon dance like I did last year when I found my last thicky but soon got ahold of myself and calmed a little. High fives and hand shakes were passed around liberally. 1794 Liberty Cap Large Cent to go into my collection. My first thick one this year. My 3rd over all. I found a half cent a couple of years ago. I did find a Liberty Cap thinny this year also. I just love how you can read ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR on the side of the coin. I see a new spot on the horizon for Sunday.

Another nice one Chris, would need to see Reverse side to attribute the variety, could be very common one or rare, if rare, even in ground found condition would be worth a bit.
Also, on the edge shot, if you can see the Oak Leaf, are stems and leaf tip pointing Up?
