This afternoon I hunted a local park I've hit a few times before and was surprised to find this Draped Bust large cent.
It's pretty toasty, but I can make out the right-facing profile on the front and the wreath and "One Cent" on the back.
Up until now, the oldest coins I've found at this place were from the 1920s, and I didn't expect to find this there (although the town dates back to colonial times). Definitely a nice surprise.
Thanks for looking - HH!
