1810 Large Cent

[angellionel]

Today I spent the afternoon detecting at a local site where the soil has not yet frozen up. By this time of year the ground out here can be a block of ice, so it is a treat to be able to detect. The site yielded a couple of wheat cents and a beautiful 1810 large cent.

I also dug up a 1992 US Mint Bicentennial Medal. It's not old, but I love the design on the obverse.

These are from another day's late afternoon hunt. Finding the wartime nickel and three Indian Head cents made for a fun hunt.

That 1810 Large Cent sure is a beauty, Angel! :smitten:

Not much more cleaning required on that one, just some coin conditioner maybe. It sure came out of the ground looking nice! :yes:

Good pile of Indian Heads, wheaties, and war nickel too! I like the design on both sides of the US Mint medal, I've never seen one of those before.

Terrific finds! :clapping:

That LC is SWEEEET.. :drool: It's in remarkable condition. It had to have been lost in the 1990's lol. Never seen a bicentennial mint token like that one.
Congrats on the spectacular hunt!!!
