Found a 1817 Coronet Large Cent

[Ed_DE]

I got a new permission today and I found a 1817 Coronet Large cent. It's in VERY rough shape but I can make out the 1817 date. It was buried under a very large tree root & the Deus was able to sniff it out. The second large is toast and I can't ID it. Also found a flower brooch with the hinge pin & catch still on. A 1970's Toy Master ALFA Romeo spider and bottom half of a Lesney Mercedes Coach match box. Some wheats & pocket change.

1817 had two verisions of the large cent. A 13 star and a 15 star. Hard to tell but I think the one I found is the 13 star.
