What do you see??

[MKW]

I dug my first couple of colonial coppers today. One appears to be completely wiped, but I think I see a bust on the other one. Do any of yall know what variety of large cent this is??

If you click the picture, it won't be sideways.

My area of expertise is limited to pull tabs and bottle caps but IMHO I think you have a “matron head” large cent (1793-1857). I could be wrong, I usually am (just ask my wife).

Looks like the bust is too large for a Matron Head...no??

 

[jeff of pa]

looks like a King George to me

When I Click on it

I see the Shelf at the bottom



My guess 1727–1760 Great Britain George II

But I Could be wrong too

MKW, Semper Fi. What part of S.C. are you from? I meant to add, Congrat's on the nice save of the coin.

I never did pass a Rorschach test so I'll withhold my guess.

Hello, about a year ago I bought the Andres pencils. Used them on several crusty coins, and they really took the old rust off. You may want to give that a try. Good find !

I’ve only found heartbreakers here in New England... too corroded for an accurate ID. Sure is frustrating.
