1834 Large Cent,a real Smoothie

[Ohio Jerry]

Well,she's a bit smooth,worn thin and egg shaped but I'll take her. Didn't expect to coax a date off this one but there was just enough to make it out. I'm a bit puzzled about it being egg shaped. I found it at a hunted out cellarhole that has produced three other LC's this summer,dates 1816,1833 and 1837. Found with the 12 inch coil but only around 4-5 inches deep. Here's a few pics,HH,Jerry

That smoothie is still SWEET. Nice dig O.J.

Good one!  And nice to get a date off of it.  Wish the cellar holes here were half as good.  But persistence pays in this neck of the woods.


I like the ornate pewter handle too.  I usually find plain pewter--only one piece ever that was hallmarked, and one other piece that was elaborate like the one you posted above.


Sounds like the coil still needs to prove itself.  Good that you're still not done with those sites--because at that rate, you'll have good spots to hunt for years to come.



Best Wishes,



Buckleboy

Good to see your area producing the Large Cents, that one is not too bad, just that it saw many years of circulation. Congratulations Jerry on another good hunt and nice post.

Congrates on the LC looks good

Very cool. I'm always pleased to get a date off a crappy looking coin and actually I've seen much worse looking LCs.

Interesting on the shape too.

Nice LC Jerry,

I love to use a large coil on the Dfx. I like the 1400. I wanna get a 12 also. But I get down deep with the 1400 and cover a lot of ground.

That Cent looks round in one picture, and egg shaped in another... Perhaps it is just the camera angle or an optical illusion.. Still, A FANTASTIC FIND any way you look at it! CONGRATS

 

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

I'll take a thin egg-shaped slider Largie anyday Jerry! Nice find
