    1819 Matron Head Large Cent

    The coppers from yesterday left me wanting some more so today late in the day I headed to the same spot to see if anything else could be coaxed out of the ground. There wasn't much this time, but I did manage one more copper, and this one held up very well.

    Here are the photos. The first two as found, and the last two when cleaned. She is a beauty.

    Yeah, they usually take a beating. stretcher: This one was in soil that has very good drainage though, so that helped her maintain her 'youth'.

    She screamed 'dig me' alright. The Fe/Co numbers were high too when using the probe, hitting Fe/Co of 10-47. I was seeing Draped Bust quarters flash before my eyes. lol She was no deeper than 8.5. The ground at the site can be difficult at some spots though, so swinging slow is just about mandatory.

    That surely is a beauty, Angel! It must have been lost not long after it was minted, and the ground was very kind to it. Soon to be 200 years old, it boggles the mind!

    That one cleaned up beautifully.
    I would love to pull one in that shape sometime this year.
    Congrats Angel on a great coin.
