Congratualtions on the large cent.
It was decided early on to include IHP, so I am guessing it should end with IHP.
The legitimacy of the game would possibly be questioned if we change any more rules.

However, please tell us about your large cent.

Yeah, I agree...

The largie is actually the most interesting, and toasty of all them I've dug so far. Someone made a hole through the coin. I've seen this before on old spanish silver, and some largies too. This Tejon has more of a learning curve than my f75 ever did....but I absolutely feel confident in it. Found 3 great coins in an area that had been worked over before by two people. It's an iron pit though, so no surprise on the finds.

1881 indian with the tejon this evening.....and a freaking seated quarter!

As far as i can tell, High VDI is the leader. He has my 1891 Beat by 10 years. Congratulations!

Congratualtions, Wegland. BOY HOWDY TO YOU!! We give you honor and glory.

This sure didn't take long. The stage is the world.

Wegland, if I find a 1909 wheat this year, you will know about it. Wanna share some of that glory you're getting.

Not so fast! The 1909 P V.D.B. Was first then came the 09s VDB. Non VDB penny were minted later after complaints about the initials under the wheat ears. Who's got a 09P VDB?

Good point.
