1773 Virginia Halfpenny (Better Pics)

I didn't do any cleaning but I tried to get some better Pictures. At least there is a little more detail. I think I will just leave it like that and not take a chance of ruining it.

Thanks everyone, I didn't know what it was when I dug it, and MarkG looked at it and said he thought it was a shield on the back. Then TnT looked it up in the book and said that he found out what it was. I was real happy with that one.
Thanks for looking

I would have been doing cheetah flips when that coin come out of the ground. All that inhabited this part of Tennessee was Injuns (the real kind) when that coin was minted.
I would be stoked if I were you. GREAT FIND !!!

Nice find, congrats! Looks like it may clean up but probably better left alone. HH, Mike

Sweet coin there. I can only hope this Spring that I will find something like that in time.
