Real Nice 1798 Large Cent

[grasshopper]

Went to a late 18th century blockhouse (no longer standing) with a c.1830s house on the same property today. It was my 3rd trip to this site.

I didn't stay too long but got a nice deep signal on the v3i which was high-frequency dominant. I knew it was going to be something good. Turns out I was right - came away with my 3rd 1798 large cent in lovely condition. I don't want to clean it too much because it seems when I try and clean old coppers I make them look worse. So I think I'm going to leave it as is...

The back strike is fairly off-center. Any thoughts on the variety?

Very nice.

You said it was hitting on the high freq, does it hit on the same freq out of the ground?
Mine hits on the low.
