Cellar hole site gives up amazing looking 1834 strike error Large Cent. My best yet!

This cellar hole site has produced 60+ buttons, and now 4 large cents, one of which is a beauty! Enjoy.

*** Added a fourth large cent (and a second video). The back is completely toast. (making up a new post for it is tideous at this rate)

Everything pictured here is from the same cellar hole site.

Not only one of the best dug coppers I've seen,
but an awesome error example, superb doubling
Great site you're working, Congrats !!

Strangely enough, the soil it came from is just your average rocky mess that is all over New England. It came out of the ground looking crusty as they always do, and I honestly thought there was no hope for it. It had this thin yet strong resilient crust covering the entire coin. All I did was slowly remove it (for about 6 hours), and I was SHOCKED at what I was seeing, and amazed with the final result. This same strange occurrence did happen to me one other time with a beautiful looking 1865 Indian Head, whereas all the other Indians from that site looked like crusty bird poop. How this is possible, I do not know.... Is it a miracle? Act of god? ALIENS??

I'm sometimes amazed at how differently coins from the same area come out,
I call it the 'microclimate' effect.

Thanks again all. I still can't believe this post is still on the first page.

I am heading back to my honey hole soon. Hopefully I will have some more good luck.

HH and GL with your hunts!
