Large Cent #14 FTY

[thebigd81]

Went looking for a house on a 1853 map of my area. There was not a lot of flat area for it to be (maybe 15 feet of flat land then it drops down to a creek) and no sight of a foundation or well (maybe used creek for well since it's right there) but I think I found 'er.

#14 FTY don't know what the other roundish thing is. It isn't magnetic and appears to be copper but it's too thick and heavy to be a coin IMO.

Research equals less search, or so I’ve been told...... it seems to be true tho!

Nice job on the coin{s} and research! Largies are as rare as hens teeth on this side of the Mississippi.

I feel bad for you all west of the Mississippi in that aspect but you seem to have better luck at finding gold coins. I'm off to try and find 2 more old spots and hopefully some more goodies

Couldn't find the 2 locations I went out to find but did stop at another spot and sniffed out #15 FTY and a couple mid 1800 buttons. The copper Lincoln took a wrong turn somewhere along the way. Did scare up a 1970s Pepsi bottle too

Probably one of my favorite coins the LC.
GREAT FIND.

Congrats on a very nice coin. I think your lock was made by the Reese padlock co. of Lancaster, Penn.
