Looks like it's a braided hair LC, she's pretty toasted but I don't care I'm just happy to have found it.
I'm not sure I'll ever get a date off this one but seeing as they were only minted until 1857 makes this my oldest coin by at least 4 years.
Now I know that Tom in Ca. is going to love this....... I found it in a tot lot! :cool:
This lot has no matting under the chips, she was in the dirt under about 6-7 inches of chips but only about an inch in the dirt.
I guess I've got to start checking all the sand boxes now as well. :lol:
I also found my first half dollar (clad) a 1980 Kennedy half.
A couple more keepers from my last few hunts were a dateless buffalo, 1944 GW quarter and a nice little sterling heart pendant.
Hope you all are enjoying the weekend, HH!

Congrats Ron on your first Big Penny along with all the rest of the finds. Large Cents are not normal finds in tot lots but I'm sure Tom thinks that it is throughout the East Coast States. Trapper
