Stunning dug example of the coin, drooling on my keyboard. Where I live the farm fields kill old coppers!

Pretty stunning condition. The classic heads weren't known for holding together too well over the years. You got a great one there. Congrats!

That Classic Head LC is in amazing condition, you can just tell it hasn't been pee'd on by animals for years.
Love to see a pic of her after a hot bath, she's a dirty girl right now.

Wow that is nice! The soil around here is too acidic for the coppers to come out looking that good.

 

[Silvermonkey]

That is one beautiful coin Scolino...amazing detail. Congrats on a spectacular find!

 

[villival]

I am jealous. Seriously. That coin is stunning. Everything I pull out of the soil around here is green. Just like me.

How awesome does it get, right! Plucking something like that Half Cent from the darkness of the earth, knowing it's probably been there for at least 200 years..... Even though the coin isn't going to make you rich, like we all dream about "that find", it's an amazing feeling to recover an item like that.

Congratulations! What a great find!
