Found a 1798 Draped Bust LC! My First 1700's U.S. Coin!
Found a pretty toasted LC today and it looks to be a 1798 draped bust! I've found three half reales and two KG coppers from the 1700's, but this is my first U.S. coin from that era.
Almost didn't dig it, because it wasn't a great signal. Glad I decided to check it out. It was only 5 inches down and standing on edge, which may explain the iffy signal.
I'm not messing with this one. No water, no mineral oil and no toothpicking. This LC is not getting any better, no matter what I attempt. I'll live with it the way it is right now.
Here's a few pics. Hope you guys can read the date:
