1846 Large cent - Best one I've found

I met up with JohnnyMc today for a short hunt at a spot we have recovered many coins and relics. Within the first 5 minutes I got a strong signal of a quarter. Dug less than an inch and got a 1846 Large cent with pretty good detail. Definately the best condition that I have ever found. I also got a copper ring.

The only large cent i've ever found was an 1846, but mine had a hole in it and looked like it was run over. Great find

Re: 1846 Large cent - Best one I've found

Very nice LC. 1846 is one of the only 2 LCs that I've ever found. Yours is in WAY better shape though. Mine was holed and had spent the last 140 or so years getting knocked around a field by plows and such.

Congrats on all the copper. That coin is in super nice condition. I love the copper ring. I've found two of them so far and think they are just awesome. Congrats!

Seems the 1846 Large Cents are coming out of the earth every week.

I also found an 1846 Large Cent last week and so did Evolution.
