1796 Liberty Cap Large Cent

[dwayne sueno]

got out for a bit today to the site that produced the six coppers earlier in the week. managed a crusty braided hair LC, and this, a worn out Liberty Cap LC. pretty sure it's a '96, but there's not much detail to go on. i'll take it, though. these don't come up very often around here.
thanks for looking and HH,

dwayne

[LuckyDragon]

I wonder how your going to clean that coin up ?
because I'm just dieing to see it all cleaned.

You never cease to amaze me, Dwayne. Congrats on a perfectly identifiable Liberty Cap large cent. Early American coppers are what KKC seeks every hunt. Thanks for sharing, my friend!

Nice copper find dwayne ..quick question where are the minumum of 10 -100 buttons and the at least 10 shoe buckles I have searched five stage stops and the buttons are usually more than coin finds ! I am thinking you may be disc. ing them out somehow .. there has to be silver there 2 some thing is different , when all copper ..do you agree ? CMDdawg

LD, that IS the cleaned version, heh heh.
i'm no expert, but sometimes surface stabilization is the best one can hope for.

CMD,

yes, i've usually got a pocket full of other button and buckle and misc "keepers" and a pocket or more full of junk after every hunt. perhaps I'm tailoring my posts of late too much on the best finds of the day. next post I'll throw everything in!

CMD,

here's the rest of today's take.

 

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Great post ! I love to see the coppers rollin' out of the ground. I like to see the "other" stuff too

Great find, Dwayne. I'm unlikely to find one of those here in Oregon. Much more likely to find a rare Jefferson medal from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Can easily see the cap in back of Liberty's head.

 

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

sweet! yep that's as clean as she's gonna get.be happy you were able to identify it.

 

[CMDiamonddawg]

CMD,

here's the rest of today's take.

Yes , I figured you were digging buttons . For me , it's usually 10 :1, button/coin ratio.. thats the extra "relic stuff" a lot of diggers like to see !!! 8) Thanks dwayne CMDdawg
