Holy cow!!! Awesome find. You don't see those being found every day. Congrats. 
That's worth a pretty hefty chunk of change... in AG-3 condition it's $3,000 (2014 Redbook)... and yours appears to be in better condition than that... There were only 11,056 of those minted. I nominated your find for the banner.

Oh Yeah ! I'm thinking this is a BANNER find ! Loads of detail on that piece !!! Super Find !!! you gotta be pretty psyched !
OOPS ! I just remembered - there's some rule about having to be a member on this site for a while before they allow the
banner - sorry (certainly a BANNER worthy find anyway !)

Appears to be Sheldon 13, but I have no other pics of the rarist of the 2 varieties. One is NC-6 and Sheldon 16. Judging from spacing on the date and 3 leaves near the "F".....S-13.Great Find!!

Wow! If you're gonna dig a US copper, it don't get much better than that! Real nice condition for a cultivated field too.
That is a Banner find without a doubt. Now what else are you digging where you dug that
