🥇 BANNER 1798 large cent

[fat fred]

I've been digging about two years now and although I've found some good stuff, this is my favorite so I figured it would make a good 1st "today's find" post for me. And I want to thank my digging buddy Larry (aka "Two Pockets") for getting me hooked. I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what Sheldon # she is. Thanks in advance!
