Congrats on a well deserved banner! It is great that 3 of the group have been up there in recent weeks! When you consider just how many people are swinging, that is a high percentage. I am honored to be up there on the top with both you and Jason.

Make sure you bring that beauty to share at the SJMDC meeting this Thursday!

An absolutely stellar coin. To me, the ground patination adds beauty and character. It also eliminates any question of authenticity. Personally, I would rather have that coin in my collection than one which had not been in the ground - even at the expense of alleged monetary value.

It is amazing that the coin has withstood so many generations in the ground. I found a 1798 large cent last spring on a field in southeastern Pennsylvania (not detecting, but looking for arrowheads), but two centuries in farm soil had left it pretty beat. I barely could identify the type and the date.

One of the most impressive Banner finds I have seen on TNet.

Re: 3 Minutes THAT PRODUCED RARE VARIETY 1797 LARGE CENT AU CONDITION

I guess what I've been doing wrong is spending all day hunting. It seems the key is to just run out there with a limited hunt time, dig up a stellar LC or half dime and split. WOW!! That is a beautiful coin. I'll bet the person who lost it knew the person that lost the 1/2 dime. I always think about crazy stuff like that, but it's cool to speculate about how and when things were lost. The how part, I don't know, but the when part was 1797. Amazing, truly amazing.

Congratulations!!
