Woohoo happy dance(UPDATED PICS)

1838 large cent in my basement woooooooohooooooooo ,, cleaning out more mud from the french drains and out pops this beauty, she has some good details even a bit pitted but she made me happy,, so in my book this my banner find for the year., i figure for some of the new guys and gals here to give you a idea of the size of a LC compared with a current cent and a Half dollar






Looks like i was wrong the date now show 1833 after a week of soaking in olive oil

Thank you for the share especially the picture with the modern half and the penny as I had no real idea as to how large a large cent was, good sized! I can not make out the date for certain from the pictures. Trying to photograph something like that is tough to do - macro setting, lighting, pitted surface, focus and tripod or not make it a difficult task. Sometimes it helps to have light coming in from the sides at a low angle as it can help to show off details due to a touch of shadow. Regardless of the date it is a sweet find and in the basement of your home of all places. I smiled at your comment about most of your finds having come from your own yard as that is exactly how I started out right at home. Keep having fun..............63bkpkr

Awesome find, I wish I could find stuff like that in MY basement. But, then again, maybe it's because I don't have a basement!
