That is a stunning LC! What kind of soil did you find that in? Mine always look live they’ve been through ten world wars...

Thanks everyone! I was super excited when this popped out of the hole and cleaned up so nicely with one light rub.

This coin came out of a mix of loose loamy and sandy soil. Other coins from this site didn't fare so well but they were in much more organic\composty soil that you usually find in the woods. You can check my other recent post with a Connecticut copper and a William III (presumed based on a couple specific traits).

Thanks again!
