1836 Large Cent!!!

[West Jersey Detecting]

I went back after work for about an hour to the place that I found the colonial copper last weekend, and found this 1836 Matron Head in a sandy area of the woods!!! It was only about 4 inches deep. It cleaned up really nicely after a hydrogen peroxide bath. The coin still has some great detail with only a little corrosion! It is only the second large cent I have found, and they are both 1836!!!!

I also found the shoe buckle (?), which still has a working hinge! Any help with time period would be appreciated and the 1916 Merc, with no mintmark! Darn!

Can anyone ID what Newcomb variety this is?

Wow, that is one nice looking Coin. Congrats on the Large Cent find. Better go back and really hunt that woods, maybe use a small coil, like a 5 inch one. That coil can really get down and dirty and get into small places a larger coil can't.

Good Luck and thanks for the post.

Neil, not 100% sure with only the Obverse showing it appears to be a Newcomb 2 variety

Obv 2 : Pointed 1 in date; rounded bust tip; front line of coronet unevenly curved.

Rev B: Point of second leaf below highest leaf at second S extends beyond it, diagnostic.
