MCH2 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I found one of my bucket listers this morning during a 3 hour hunt. What is it? :) I will take her down to the laboratory for some electrolysis and post pic later. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happa54 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Which item are you referring to? I'm a little slow at these things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayard Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I suspect he's referring to a large cent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH2 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yep, a 1845 large cent. Here is a link to what they look like - https://www.google.com/search?q=1845+large+cent&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwj_x97Fqq7cAhUT8LwKHe3FDzUQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1024&bih=712#imgrc=6bRtEZ9ZLRY36M I'll post mine when finished with preservation. I actually found another two days after my initial post, but that coin is in a poor state and the date unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH2 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Here it is, banged up a little, but still pretty nice for possibly being in the ground for 173 years. I waxed it to help preserve it from oxidizing. The waxing is the whitish color you see. I think it gives it more definition also. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachHunter Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 One of my favorite coins, congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH2 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks BeachHunter. I wasn't expecting to find a large cent. All else for the day was clad. It was actually just a clad hunt. You just never know. You got to be out there to find it. Next bucket lister I hope... a standing liberty quarter in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
