<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2600819, member: 10461"]A local SE GA detector find. Not by me, but by my buddy Billy Ridenour. He has found some really pristine early large cents. Interestingly, several have been this Sheldon-166 variety with the distinctive die crack on the reverse. There must've been a keg of them shipped to Savannah or thereabouts in 1798-1800 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/17981cAUdetails-obvbefore.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/17981cAUdetails-revbefore.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here's another one found around here.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/Bills1798PostRoadcent-scan.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I've seen so many of my friends dig stuff like this, I hope mine will happen one day.
