Went back to same property I found the 2 cent coin. Got a late start at 4:30pm so barely got a half hour in. As per my usual, my last dig of the day hit a nice sound about 7 inches deep. Pulled out what I knew was a penny, but impossible to identify. Too much crust. I was praying it wasn't a Lincoln, and hoping older than a wheatie. After a good long soak in hot peroxide and much tooth pick work, I got the revelation. Very happy with it and it'll continue to clean up nicely:

Looks like your off to a great start to the new year!
 

Looks like 2013 agrees with you! Good thing the world didn't end, huh. ;)

Grats on both coins and yeah, looks like it's cleaning up well.

HH!

Thanks. Stupid me, I failed to take a pic of it fresh out of the ground. It was so crusted I couldn't tell heads nor tails!
