Thank you!

Nice! Glad to know there is soil around here that is kind to copper coins.

Thanks randy! I hear you...you and me alike.

Thanks CharlieT84! I searched for many years to find just this one. And it came out in good condition too, other than the hole in it.

WOW!

Thanks kidlester! I hope you find yours too and without the hole in it. It seems around pine trees the ground is soft, easier and better on coins..

Beautiful condition....nice find!

Thank you!

Beautiful condition....nice find!

Thank you Gumshoe! I was lucky in finding it and lucky for it to being in that condition too.

Nice find JAK! I've never found that coin, a 2 center would be nice some day!

Thank you Gumshoe! I was lucky in finding it and lucky for it to being in that condition too.

Heck yeah! I love finding oldies with the necklace/charm attachment hole too.
It gives it a little more personality imo.

Congrats again man!

Thanks LovestheShiny! This was a first for me to find. With all those super coins you find, I am honestly surprised you have not found one yet. Hopefully, you'll find one soon!

Congrats, Mine came out of acidic red clay and was not in great shape. You could see some details and I got a date, but dang yours looks like it came out of very neutral soil. I've had a couple of IHPs and a V that were in great shape almost like that. It all boils down to the dirt you find them in.

Thanks longbow62! Soil makes all the difference and the moisture content too. Some of the few older colonials I found are even in better condition than some of the LCs found. As for "V" nicks mine come out shot and it is hit or miss with the IHs. I see we are neck to neck with the silvers. I might have found another one today, if so, it is Canadian. I still have to check my finds from today. Thanks again for checking out my thread!

Thanks fasteddy! I appreciate the kind words! I see you are in York, good part of the State for some oldies too. HH!

Back in the late 1800's and early 1900's coins were sometimes nailed to the door for good luck. This might explain why there's a hole in yours. The only one I ever found had a nail hole in it similar to yours.

I think you might possibility be correct about the hole in the coin. The hole is not round but it is kind of square/rectangle. It looks as though it was hole punched with like a square hardened concrete type of nail. That is probably to why its condition, as it may not have been in hand circulation via person to person much. And congrats to you with your coin too!

Your first two-cent piece is a beautiful one. Fantastic find! And $14.02 is an excellent clad take, too.

 

[Rattlehead]

That’s such an awesome coin. Congrats!

The hole in mine was also square as if it were punched with the older type square nails.

Thanks Princess! I know it is crazy finding that coin. It is one of those things that we never know what we will come out of the ground. Incidentally, since you mentioned the clad, I was lucky with that too. Most of that clad came from an unoccupied, unlocked, open gate, community type pool. It was a good "welcome' opportunity to having the place to myself.

That’s such an awesome coin. Congrats!

Thanks Rattlehead! Every now and then, I even surprise myself with a new treat. It still amazes me as to what is left in the ground as to be found.

Congrats on that nice, first-year-issue two center, John!

Thanks Wolf-Dog! I will say, even though it is "holey" it makes it that much more special. It took me many years to find that one!
