Re: Makes cents

Very impressive finds! Your group of old United States coppers looks like about the nicest bunch of old coppers to come out of the ground so far this year. The acidic soils just eat the poor old things up. I get really disappointed to pull an obvious large cent out of a dirt clod only to have to imagine the date and legends when it's free. Your finds are superior to anything I've seen found around here, and of course, the older the better. I don't have to tell you you have to get back there. If you find a 1799 it would be nice as a rare date, but your 1797 isn't too shaggy either. The others are in quite collectible condition, which as I indicated is unusual. Premium stuff, Thanks for sharing!

If I recall properly, TreasureNet members have found a couple of 1793's, a 1799, and a least one 1804 Large cent within the last year, plus all the nice half cents. You guys make me proud. Those coins are a real part of America's history.
