Re: First Large Cent out of Nebraska!
very cool. no doubt a rare dig in Nebraska. I sure would like to dig one some day, but the chance of finding one where I live would be like 1 in a trillion.

Makes you wonder what kind of story the coin has to tell.

Re: First Large Cent out of Nebraska!
Yep 1852--much obliged for resizing the photo Dave!
Took my first test drive on waxing a large cent...looks like I need practice...but here's a couple of photos. Used Minwax paste, heated up the cent in the oven til it was hot, then applied a thin layer of wax with my finger (wax melts onto the coin--you have to hurry though because the wax hardens quickly once the coin cools). Once dry, I lightly buffed it with a paper towel. Thanks for all the positive comments!

Nice,

The story behind your coin's history appears to be intriguing--perhaps it was worn as part of an ornamental arrangement--thus the two holes, and perhaps how it travelled to where you found it.
All the best,
