Michigan Large Cent

[IHC656]

In the previously detected yard again.
My third year in the hobby and I’d say this might be my best find yet. 1848 large cent.
My previous oldest coin was a 1882 Indian cent that I found in my yard last year.
And some more today find’s, wheat’s plus a White House token.

It looks like there is damage to the letter E in cent. Random damage or some ornery kid trying to change the E to another letter?🤔 I’ve seen that done before.

Inspecting it under a scope I am confident it is random damage.
On a second note the homeowners asked if they can have the coin. But refuse to not pay for it. It’s hard to let go but I plan on bringing it back.

Not a bad looking Large Cent.

That’s a tough one to give up. I believe in karma. I’d give them the coin and charge them $1. Something good will come to you later.

Awesome... they don't come out of the dirt in better shape than that very often..
I'd throw some wax on that bad boy
