Holy Cow!!! That's awesome! Can you believe how long that thing has just been sitting there, waiting for someone to find it.....? And the condition is unbelievable for a copper coin out of the ground!
Sure is a beaut, Jeff. Super detail, too!
My boss found an IH today too... 1865 I think... and 2 wheaties.
I found 5 cartridges, a watch face, an old buckle-type thingy, 3 buttons, 2 nickels, an' 2 wheaties... Ohh, and yet another boy scout slider.
That sure is a nice find!!!According to my old coin book FROM 2000 the 1859 IH starts out at $7.25 and goes up to $1,000 for a proof -63 so take care of that thing!!!CONGRADS
Thanks all!
Normally I wouldn't go for eye-popping for an IH but this is a rare beauty.
Angel , you and Cladius are welcome to hit the spot with me. Any Time! 8)

Beautiful IH, Jeff!
I'm sure you'll be hitting that field again before the weeds pick up.
Hey, it would be my pleasure to go detecting with you and Cladius. I just know it would be a lot of fun, and it would be great to put a face with a name.
sweet IH , i found one last year 1859 but the only reason i knew it was 1859 was the missing shield on the back since there the only IH that didnt have it great job. wish i could see mine as well as yours
