The 1846 Large Cent looks like it was lost the same year it was made. Much Detail, It is the “Small Date”. They made a “Small Date, “Medium Date” and “Tall Date”. Nice Find, It is common, harder to fine in tall date in higher grades. Still a Beautiful Coin with not that much environmental damage. Perhaps it was found in a rich clay base.
Thanks! I love the largies. It was found in the front yard of an early 1800s farm house. Not sure how much clay is in our ground here in Western NY. Thanks for the comment!
