How did I know, when I saw the title of this post, that it was going to be an east coast guy's post ? Sick sick sick.

Given how long that coin has been in the ground, I'd say it is in fantastic shape. Nice to be able to cross something off the ole bucket list. Nicely done.

Very nice find. You probably know already but that's in great shape for something that's been in the ground that long!

Nice looking VA halfpenny. I'm a little surprised it's you first considering where you live and the stuff you've been posting. But I'm sure it won't be your last. I have bagged five of those in SW PA and my first was by far my best.

That thing is amazing! I want one. I can't believe I can't find one on the eastern shore of Maryland. Or if I have its toasted beyond recognition. Still toward the top of my bucket list. Inspirational.

That is a great coin! You can still see the detail in the shield! I wonder what you'd find if you took a longer lunch. Congrats!
