Me and S.C. Keith were on a site that had been hit hard by others we pulled a few keepers from what they lefted. He got four flats and I got 2 flats and a cool coin check it out.

Sweet looking coin , did you dig it with the shovel ?

 

[calabash digger]

I don't know if that's an old hit ,I want to think it is because I would be sick if I thought I hit it. I think its old because it looks patina in the dents.

does anyone know what variety this one is?

It's a draped bust LC hair style 2. http://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/128/large-cents/draped-bust/1798-P/style-2-hair/

'Tis a beauty Calabash. She has aged very well over the centuries.

That 1798 Large Cent is stunning! :loveit: Definitely one of the nicest Draped Bust examples I've seen. :yes: I would be on cloud nine for a month if I ever found something like that.

But let's not overlook that 1870 Indian Head, that is a relatively scarce date.

Incredible finds! :clapping:

Yet another amazing hunt you had! Congrats on those beautiful coins!!

Just watched your video and man that dirt is like butter! enjoyed it!

Saw your vid Calabash. Nice old coin in awesome shape. Rarely do you see them come out of the ground like that. I nabbed 3 DBs last year but all are no or partial dates. Would be in high heaven to pull a beauty like that out of the ground. HH!
