I found a virgin cellar hole a while back
and this one keeps on giving.
So far I have been lucky enough to find
8 colonial coppers about 50 tombacs
and flat buttons and my first cut silver
that I posted a few weeks ago. I never
thought I would top the cut silver especially
With something like this but I guess that's why
We love this hobby so much , you just never know
What you are going to find next ! This coin is a 1799
draped bust large cent she is in rough shape but very beautiful to me !!!

Whoever said it is worthless is either:

1. An idiot
Or
2. A con artist.

I guarantee you get that thing in a “Guaranteed Genuine” Slab from PCGS and it would command value as even a “filler coin”. But your right, it would be priceless to me as well! Great find!! You deserve a banner in my opinion!

I had a second opinion. Sure glad I did !! The first shop must have been a con artist! Needless to say it's on its way to PCGS to be slabbed . Thank you for the banner nod !
