I found this large cent today in a wooded area that was a field 90years ago. I think it's a N-7? Does anyone here know? :icon_scratch:

Wow that is really in great shape...beautiful....congrats !!
 

Cannonball,

Unfortunately I can’t help you determine if it is a N-7 but I can say say what a hell of a find - the details are fantastic on the coin. Your soil is definitely forgiving. Good luck with your hunts. Walt
 

That is in great condition! Congrats!
 

This may be an Error coin. The stars are bleeding!!
 

Very Nice!!! Great Shape!!! Congrats!!!
 

I do not think it is a N.7 but will look and let you know shortly, however, the bleeding stars are known as flowlines, happens, not sure how often but it is a known feature. Looks like a N.10, which is known to have those flowlines.

Incredible beauty. What a great find. I know the least of all of us, but is that doubling on the nose, lips and chin?
 

I just got a confirmed ID: It's a 1817 Newcomb 10, R-1, Late Die State (That makes the Funny Looking Stars). Now, I must try to find an R-6!:cross:
 

Very Nice Coin!! Congrats
 

Beautiful large cent! :occasion14:
 

Congratulations on your awesome recovery..it?s a moment in time that you will always remember seeing it for the first time
