Incredible find! Epic! Try zooming in halfway then take a pic of both sides. Easier to get a well focused pic. Huge bucket lister coin! Congrats!!

I hope you cleaned it "properly" unlike many finds similar to yours I have seen here.

And that's why snow is a good thing! It melts and saturates the ground so you can find 1600's coins a foot down!
