1806 Large Cent Recovery

Found this nicely detailed large cent today. Condition is excellent save for the period scratches across liberty's face. She was four feet down at the deepest level of a federal-era cellar hole and exactly what I had hoped to find.
1806 was the year Lewis & Clark returned from their expedition having set out in 1804. Imagine, unexplored territory in the US.
