WOW!
Nice, i'm still looking!
HH!
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!
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.
Nice find,,,,, Looking good,,,,
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.
The hole in mine was also square as if it were punched with the older type square nails.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.
That’s such an awesome coin. Congrats!
