Of the 40,000 + coins I have dug in the past 8 years, I only ever found one of these.
This was dug on May 6th, 2013 at the Fuhrman's with Air Force Mike.
this was an old 1800's house which really gave up some goodies:D
I did scratch the top a little, but oh so much detail...

That thing is in phenomenal shape! I just dug my first one on Sunday and it's in decent shape. My friend Tyler has found over a dozen of them I believe. Last fall he found a spill with two 2 cent pieces!

Here's mine from Sunday...

Same year, nice save!
I seem to recall finding another one, but in order to locate it will take some digging:lol::laughing:
 
My one and only 2 Center, dug on April 7th 2014. Still one of my all time favorite digs. Trapper

Unfortunately I cannot partake in this event, other to say yours is in excellent condition, was this from a tearout?
 
My oldest coin also. Found it with my old F70.

Nope, this was in the front yard of an 1800's home with two 90+ year old women living there.
Beautiful black rich soil.
Unfortunately, they sold (due to age) went to a nursing home, and the home has been torn down and DEVELOPED

I've found a toasted 1864 and a really nice 1870 two cent piece. The 1870 had a mintage of 861,250 coins, which is one of the lowest mintage coins I've ever found.

I dug this one in the front yard of an 1870’s home. My buddy and I stopped and cold-call door knocked. I followed my buddy around an old tree stump and got a solid ‘quarter’ tone. Man was he ticked that he missed it. We also dug silvers and IH’s from that yard. My second or third 2 cent piece.
