Update to 5 Large Cents Pictures of All Included

[Bell-Two]

Finally got picture of all 5 Large Cents. Paul and I went back today and he got an 1881 Indian. The condition on these coins is simply amazing for field finds. All are full liberty and have amazing detail even my 1818 is so fine you can see the lines in the Matron's hair! Here is link to original post that has video.

First is my 1818, then Bill's 1833 then Pauls 1828,1831,1844 and his 1881 Indian.

Nice! What state are you in? Around PA they come out of the ground looking pretty bad.

We are in Ohio, now not all the Large Cents come out looking like these, last week I dug one that took three days of cleaning, plus my coin shops high intensity lamp and maginifier to get an 1833 date. I think that this field was never fertilized. Fields that have had fertilizer on it seem to eat up copper coins.

Here is a larger picture of the 1818, showing a little more of the detail. The photo does not do full justice to the quality of this coin, the lighting washed out some of the patina...it is a nice uniform green on the coin. This is a scarce variety of the 1818 it is Newcomb's #3. This was the only use of the obverse and reverse dies.
