Did $50 in BWR today, and in the second roll, I was able to find this beauty.

I would grade it at least a XF 40 Coin but i'd like a second opinion. Full liberty and lots of detail. Sorry for the low quality pictures, all I have is a scanner. This is my second oldest CRH find :) (1889 IHC being the oldest).

I don't know anything about grading but it looks very nice!! Congrats!
 

That's a beautiful find! Congrats!
 

Nice find! I found an 1807 british penny in one of my rolls today. Oldest coin I've ever found.

You should post a pic! That's an old find. A few people have you beat :) When Grandpas coin collection got dumped for the 579th time, someone found a few ancients in a half dollar roll :)

Thanks, I was thinking about cleaning it for the hell of it, as it doesn't have any real value.
 

Nice coins guys, last year I dug an 1807 KG half penny, not as nice as CRHSW's though.

Why? It looks nice, maybe a little verdigris, but it's not like it needs cleaning to look good. Also, it your condition, it has a value of about $5 (if a penny). If halfpenny, $4. A halfpenny is quarter sized, a penny half sized.
