I was not sure what to pick, the most valuable ones, the prettiest ones or do a combination of the two. So I do have my top valuable ones shown and some of the prettier ones, at least for being ground found coppers they are pretty.
Will do a Top 10 +2 Silver post in upcoming days.
#12 is not my oldest copper but it is the oldest great conditioned one.
#11 is a nice example of a Regal King George II Halfpenny.
#10 a very pretty late year Large Cent I found this year.
#9 a beautiful example of a Counterfeit King George II Irish Halfpenny.
#8 is a great shape Half Cent that is one of the Spiked Chin varieties.
#7 is a common Vermont Copper but it is in decent shape for displaying.
#6 a very clear strike early year Large Cent that is one of the scarcer varieties.
#5 is a very rare counterfeit King George III halfpenny that currently is being studied by an expert.
#4 a beautiful late die state of a New Jersey Copper.
#3 this 1796 Liberty Cap came out of the sugar sand in this condition, if only more could be like this one.
#2 a valuable variety of the 1794 Large Cent, perhaps the most valuable coin I have ever found.
#1 I still remember the day I was hunting a tilled field in the light rain and saw this coin lying on the surface at the same time the coil swept over it and gave that sweet sound. Not too many 1793 Half Cents are ever found, especially compared to 1793 Large Cents which are more common. (But not for me)
Hope the photos were good enough to make you all want to get out and find a goodie.
