    The other day I dug up this 1801 Large Cent in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. I was wondering if anyone here could attribute it. It looks a little like an S-216? I didn't want to clean it too much just in case it was a rare one. I'm a little shy about cleaning/ conserving it. Thanks for any input.
