Large cent and Chauffer badge

oddrod · Oct 22, 2013

Last two days have been pretty darn exciting. Yesterday went digging with a few wheat state guys and found a cool 1947 Ks Chauffer badge. Today got to dig a 1872 home site and found a 1851 large cent. The front is toast and I can hardly make out the date, but its my first lc. Overall a fantastic couple of days.

Great finds, one of my very first finds 18 years ago was a chauffeur badge. Keep up the nice finds. HH.

Nice finds! Love finding LC's! It was my 3rd before I found one not roached... Now to find a large silver from that era!

Awesome badge!!! She's a beauty. :thumbsup:

Congrats too on your first LC. It took me forever to dig one of those. My first one was worn pretty smooth and I couldn't make a date. Found a few more since then in better condition.
Well done,
MM

DANG, Looks like good stuff to me! I would plan on going back there. You can always ask for help if you need to. So glad you found some awesome goods.

Only dug two chauffeurs badges in 22 years. One was in Virginia, 1920s badge...the other was last year in Louisiana (1930s badge).

I like the badge , Congrats on your First large cent , those are fun to get . My humble persona prevents me from tooting my horn about how many I have found . :laughing7:

Thanks for all the kind words. The large cent was really a surprise considering Kansas wasn't even a state until 10 years after this coin was minted. We don't see too many of these here.
