    Wow, Nice find. Hoping for one myself. This was the first ever LC I have seen, but it was many years ago and peaked my interest about 17 years before I got into the hobby.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.
