Dug another old large copper today at my colonial site. This one is a BEAUTIFUL 1805 draped bust.

You east coast guys make me sick. Sick sick sick.

Oh, and in case you didn't get the word on the new rule: East coast guys now have a handicap for the "Today's find" section. Your coins must be older than 1800, in order to qualify for show & tell here. After all: What's fair is fair. Tsk tsk.
 

That's very crisp early copper you recovered, congrats.
 

What a gorgeous coin-congrats!

That's a super sweet looking coin. Congrats sir, I wish mine looked that good.
 

They don't come out much better than that one. Gotta be happy with that. :occasion14:

I like the way you think Tom....I actually think pre 1700 would be more fun lol
 

I don’t get excited about Large Cents....unless they look like that. Out of more than a hundred I have maybe 2 or 3 that are really stunning. But not with high relief and detail like that. And always Draped Busts. Congrats on that display coin. It’s gonna look awesome
