    I figured that I would go easy on you people today. I'm calling it, "I found it Friday!". Please. Please post a coin that you found. Coin roll hunting, on or in the ground, in coin return slots etc.... I want the good, the bad and the Ugly people! Understand? :smuggrin:
    This is my all-time favorite finds of all of my metal detecting days. It's also my first Large cent found. it was in about 8 inches of clay-like dirt and was in excellent condition from the start. I did soak it in olive oil when I first started out and slowly picked at it with a toothpick. I still have it today. My friend found an 1851/81 Large cent. Jerk. :D
    Well, here it is....

    I found this coin in my mother in laws barn garage. It’s zinc and you can barely see a few letters but it’s a cent. Complete with holes too.
