Found My best Large Cent to date!

[lonelyduckhunter]

Been after a Large Cent that had some details most come out of the fields looking like crap. Finally found a decent one not worth a whole lot but alot of details and a very reable date 1843.

Came out of the same site I pulled th Capped Bust silver half last week not 20 feet away.

Great coin. Its nice when they come out of the ground like that. Soil conditions make a huge difference.

What a nice coin.
Braided Hair, or Late Dates (1835–1857)
Facing more negative public reaction, the Coronet cents were redesigned in 1835 by new Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. This last major change to the coin updated the obverse by giving Liberty a slimmer, more youthful appearance. Minor tweaks continued through 1843, and the 1843 design prevailed through the end of mintage in 1857. Some 11 years after the large cent was discontinued, a mint employee coined several large cents dated 1868, almost certainly for sale as instant rarities to numismatists. Fewer than a dozen of these unofficial issues, struck in both bronze and copper-nickel, are known to survive
