I've hunted this field many times before and only got flat buttons and other 1800s little stuff, never any coins until now. This place has been pounded by others I know. When I heard the signal I thought there's no way someone missed this unless it's a can. But it's my best condition large cent yet.

aint that the truth, i know ive swung over there before, but i think they did a deep plow right before they planted this year, and they just cut down the cotten so i got out there
 
That is a nice one, I can't seem to find any of those. Congrats.
 
Great condition...and an early date!
 
Sweet, probably has been passed on before as can slaw
 
That's a very nice coin. Great find! Great restraint too, she is beautiful as she is without over cleaning.

Yea, all I did was finger wipe the excess dirt and put it in the holder
 
It's absolutely gorgeous. Would keel over if we found one in that condition! Congrats. -Lisa & John
