1795 Liberty Cap Half Cent
I must be on a roll. This came from a previous site that we have done. We couldn't go back to the other site today so we went with one of our default ones. Just a shame that it was out in the horse pasture. This is my first half cent. The signal was about 4 inches deep and read 12-46 on the E-trac. It's rough, but I'll take it. My father-in-law also found a Masonic button.
On another note: I will soon be sending off the Flowing hair cent to be evaluated and graded. Wish me luck.

"The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
The value will increase with judicious cleaning."

Don't worry about condition. You can make it out and that is all that matters. You did great again and yes you are on a roll.
