1793 left facing liberty cap half cent

mjb Mike · Nov 10, 2025

Went out sat detecting for a long hunt about 6 hours. Covered about a mile of an old road witch is now in the middle of the woods.found a 1898 barber and Indian on the way in.took the same road on the way out just tried to cover different areas and got 2 large cents.the last coin of the day was a 1793 liberty cap left facing half cent.after checking the net there was only 35000 minted and estimated only 1000 left. looks like they only made the left facing that one year.all I did was rinse the coin off.the pics are from a cell so pics aren’t so good.thanks for looking.looking forward to the coin expert opinions on this coin
