My Second large cent, a 49'er, really crusty but still a beauty to me!

My brother had dug two mercs and a 1903 Indian head and i was getting skunked until this...I evened the score in a hurry My first large cent was a no date Matron head just two days ago and this one is a 49 "young head"..The peroxide treatment didn't help much with this one so i had to use more drastic measures with some hydrochloric acid,sorry It brought out the date and a little detail..Seems like Mother nature isn't kind to copper after 150 years in the ground. Enjoy the pics!!
