A story about finding that coin is supposed to appear in the next issue of Western & Eastern Tresures magazine...so thanks again for doing that.

I know that auction prices can vary a lot but I'm wondering what range something like that might go for. Thats right up there with some of the best coin finds I have ever seen. Even the relic guys give it an honorable mention. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">

For the magazine article I cited a couple of recent coin auctions that featured these error large cents. They don't show up often, but 1 sold for over $1000 graded only as "good". But of course the rub is that mine being dug would probably be branded "enviromental damage" & hurt it's sales appeal. But, I'm just happy with the nice letter I got from ANR coins, & won't consider selling anyhow. It says it's very scarce & is the only one known dug. I'm very happy with that, & will never forget seeing a large cent come out of the ground with 2 "wreaths" <img src="/metal/html/blush.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":redface"> As you said, the "Relic Frat boys" thought some buttons, an arrowhead, & a toy cannon were better finds <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> heh heh. So hopefully it will get it's due in the magazine.... HH, Bill
 
I got beat out by a scabbard tip! <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> Of course it was found a "4 letter" hunt so the minions came out of the wood work to vote for it!
 
Heh heh as they say over there <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=";)"> It probably sounds like we're sore losers or something, but I really was not trying to "win" a dumpo t-shirt or anything <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> I only posted it there because I thought folks might be interested to learn more about a brockage error, as explained in the letter of authenticity, that's all. I don't really like what clubs, & contests do to people so I wish I had never even bothered.....
