🥇 BANNER 1798 large cent

fat fred · Apr 12, 2014

I've been digging about two years now and although I've found some good stuff, this is my favorite so I figured it would make a good 1st "today's find" post for me. And I want to thank my digging buddy Larry (aka "Two Pockets") for getting me hooked. I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what Sheldon # she is. Thanks in advance!

Yes, much nicer than the 1793 half cent I posted last year! Very nice coin.

Congrats Fred, The previous owner lost this fairly soon after he got it it looks like as it's in A shape! I'd hit it some more unless you have a better spot.HH.....
