Detectorist New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 09/25/2019 8:07 pm Today I was fortunate to metal detect the second large cent within a month. I'm aware there were many errors during this year, but this almost looks to be an 8 over a 1 as opposed to a seven. Condition not bad for being 6" deep in the ground. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/26/2019 10:25 am S-167 Die stage III, not one of the three 8/7 varieties. Instant identifying features type II hair, large 8 and the die crack from the rim to Liberty's eye. What you see passing through the 8 is a die crack.Here is a better condition piece in just a slightly earlier die stage while the crack to the eye is still faint. Report this Post to the Staff
