Wow Crab, I'm guessing you are on the coast? The soil here a little inland eats the coppers up. I have never found any copper especially a large Cent in that good of shape. Nice find!!

that cleaned up beautifully. I guess several may cringe at cleaning one up that well but it is your coin.

yes on the coast, new bern, most coppers i find are eat up too, but these were in very rocky sandy soil near the river and had concrete there from around 75-100 years ago, but they just pulled it up to build a house, its a big lot and they still have half of the concrete to remove
