"SMOKIN" 1819 Large Cent

It's me again with yet another post...I appologize.

Got out of work early today so I went back to my SUPER DUPER SWEET SPOT and focused attention in the area I just got the Half Cent last night. This Copper was DEEP (10-12 inches ) and was barely reading on my machine but kept hitting at Half Dollar. Usually this is a piece of iron or a nail, but this was a LARGE CENT deep in the ground between rocks. This coin is in awesome shape except for the nick on the front ( not by me ) I'm not even going to clean it, I think shes beautiful the way she is. Not pictured is the pile of random iron and one pewter spoon. I've worked this site very hard and don't bother to discriminate any more. I just dig and dig and dig and dig...ect....ect....

The copper from that year was high quality. Every 1819 I've seen was basically mint state.

Great job, Sniffy!
