large cents galore

chritters71 · Feb 8, 2015

Coppers from old home site. I'm really digging 1797 capped half cent . I dug the 1797 today along with the one to the right. I couldn't quite make it out until I picked up a magnifYing glass and was stunned. It's a flying eagle cent. Mixed in are couple george 2nd a 1781 george the 3rd witch are proofs only minted in Ireland, a draped bust largie,draped bust half, draped large ,matron and classic heads. this site has also given up countless flat buttons and musket balls.there's a lot more to come.

All I can say is....WOW!
Not that I ever expect to have that sort of day, but if I did I'd be blind in one eye for a week.
I'm sure it would take several painful pokes to convince me I wasn't asleep and dreaming.
Congratulations on some mind blowing coins.
