Found: 1826 Large Cent

[Dman]

A friend of mine demolished an old house to make room for some apartment buildings. He gave me permission to hunt there following deconstruction of the home. The yard had been hunted before and I didn't think I'd find very much. I started out finding a few new coins and moved around to where the old porch once stood. About five sweeps into the search I got a good quarter signal, at about 4 inches deep. I dug down to what I thought might be a silver quarter and out pops the 1826 Large cent. It is the best Large cent I have ever found. I only had about an hour to hunt and I plan to go back there again soon.
Thanks for looking.

Gotta love those Quarter singals! Excellent coin there, my friend.


Rodeo Recon got his first LC a few weeks ago, and it was an 1826 as well.

Dman,

I was taking another look at this righteous post & IMHO that large cent would make a SUPERB avatar for your righteous self ...
