Oh man, you've been spoiled rotten with the large cents...LOL!!!. I am like most people on here that may never find one at all. I've been at this for 30 years and never found one. You are a truely blessed man to find all of them. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a half cent...but no large cent yet. Still boggles my mind how you can be so nonchalant about finding those things!

No.. don't get me wrong.. I'm not being nonchalant at all... I have found a lot of them in farmer's fields eaten up by the fertilizer. They usually are beyond recognition, and are generally referred to has wasted. As in .. "What you'd find?" "Well.. I got a wasted Large Cent :-( " I am happy to have dug so many.. and they are still one of my favorite things to dig... well. after Civil War Buckles!!!

Monkey,
I'm with the rest of em'...I'd love to find even one and your wasted ones look great to me. Being from CA, my chances are slim, none of the detectorists I've met out here have ever found one.

Nice large cents.
How many people can say they even found more than 20 large cents. I can but most haven't found any.
I love everyone I get. Good or bad shape. Your's aren't that bad at all. I could clean those up even better. That one is really sliced up. You have any idea what happened with it.

Very nice collection of history in those large cents, you have really been busy, great finds in good or bad condition, I still get a charge on a wheat,, lol. Way To Go on your finds, and more good luck to you in the future. Post some more those are really cool to see, I think for all of us here on Tnet.
