🥇 BANNER 1798 large cent

[fat fred]

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!

I love the emerald green color of that coin. She's a beauty. .

 

[fat fred]

thank you! I was speechless as the dirt fell away and then to aggravate my buddy I yelled out "BOOM...BABY!!!"

I can tell you for sure , that I have never seen a dug up Draped Bust Large Cent with that kind of high relief detail - especially on the
obverse . The hair details are ridiculously nice - I'm stunned - That coin must have gone into the ground in AU. or Uncirculated !

Sent from my SCH-S738C using TreasureNet in the middle of a field somewhere

First one I've ever seen In that Detail.
My vote is in

this is a legit "today's find" post right ?
Not a best find from a year or so ago ?
sorry not meant as a put down, but the way you said

Bit of a kill joy don't you think, jeff?
That is the best looking dug copper I ever seen posted, it should go banner just because of how nice it looks. It also should remain on todays finds, just because more people would see it.

Sorry, not meant as a put down jeff, just my opinion.

it's my fault guys my original post was not very clear. I'm a newbie and in my excitement to post my latest and best find I chose my words poorly. No offense taken, Jeff was right to question. Thanks again for all the comments. I need to study the stickies at the top before I post willy nilly lol!

LOL Yes it is a "bit of a Kill Joy" as you say, But the rules have to be spread Evenly

Anyway it appears to be a Non Issue at this point & as I said

I gave it the First Banner vote even if it was with stipulation
it had to be Recent

 

[Carolina Tom]

Awesome nice coin. Congrats!

 

[park pirate]

Tremendous detail on that copper, Fred. You could detect for a lifetime and not do any better than that. My vote is in as well.
