Big penny and a buncha bullets

[diggervet]

Two days around Petersburg Va. netted my son and I a handful of bullets and a big penny! Unfortunately the date on the penny is unreadable but I still love finding coins.

Nicely done...a lot of lead there!

And to think, most people spend
their time dodging bullets! But not
you two. Head long and into the line
of fire.
Great haul!!!

 

[SilverDreams]

Still a nice find. I'd love to find a large cent!

 

[BuckleBoy]

Excellent work! That's a nice CW haul there.

What type of large coppa is it?

 

[Ed-NH]

Nice finds on the lead. So can you see anything on the front of the large cent? Does the head face to the right or left? Maybe we can narrow down a time period for that beautiful piece of American copper

If that is a ribbon I'm seeing at the bottom of the wreath and not corrosion, then I'm going with Draped Bust (1796-1807). Pretty darn early, but that's the only one (except for flowing hair!) that had such a prominent ribbon on the wreath.

unfortunately the front is badly corroded and unreadable. No trace of a bust, date or anything else.
