a die marker at 9:00 Ok yep I see that now. I'll have to break out my Sheldon as I don't remember seeing that before. Thx! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Fantastic find!! I saw that die marker for the first time a couple days ago. You don't see metal detecting finds this nice, well done!

What is the bit between the ribbon and the denticles on the obv? Is that an encrustation? An internal die break. This obv was used on S-129, 130, 131, and NC-8. S129 comes with no break, two cracks with some chips between them. On 130 it starts out with the chips and rapidly develops into the full internal break. The break then doesn't change much on NC-8 and S-131. S-129  S-130  NC-8  S-131  |

It appears to be raised on the coin.
If that is the case the raised area may the the impression of die damage.
As such, it would constitute a minor error.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, and to Conder101 for the die break examples. I have Robert Power's book " US Large Cents 1793-1814, Variety Identification Guide for Early Date United States Large Cents" and it really helped me narrow down the variety of this coin quickly. John |

What an incredible find. Shame the reverse got dinged but I guess that comes with the metal detecting process. If only that coin could talk.
