    Seller's image and description:

     

    "As business strike Three Cent Nickels go, this one is quite colorfully, in fact, rather wildly toned. The hues are more vivid than seen in the image, and this is easily one of the prettiest business strikes I have seen of any date and grade."

    Nice toning on this coin. :applause:
  2. VERY attractive looking large cent there Bob!!! :applause: Given the die crack isn't that a Randall hoard one?

     

    According to an article I read, around 14K large cents dating from 1816-1820 were found in a barrel not long after the Civil War. The majority of these were ultimately bought by John Randall at the rate of 90 cents on the dollar. Virtually all mintstate large cents that fall within those dates are from the Randall Hoard.

     

    I'm assuming that my new pickup is part of the hoard.

     

    Thanks for all the comments. I think these are so cool looking and am really happy to have found it. Even better that it was local and didn't have to camp out next to my mail box waiting for it. :whee:

    What kind of tent do you have? :kidaround:

     

    Very nice, Bob! :applause:
