Nice! Congrats on such a great looking coin. Back in February, I had great luck in digging the smaller version, a 1794 Liberty Cap Half Cent.

dang, the obverse side is really nice but the reverse not so much. It's not all crusty too. That's an awesome find!
is it a lettered edge ?

Something about the clear 1700’s dates found in US soil is automatically top tier

Beautiful coin! No place is hunted out. One nail will hide a relic. Congratulations!
A 1794 lettered edge large cent is a "Liberty Cap" variety minted in Philadelphia, known for its "ONE HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR" or similar edge lettering, often found on thick planchets. Designed by Joseph Wright, these are part of a 918,521 mintage featuring a right-facing Liberty and are highly collectible for their, varied, and often dramatic, Sheldon, or S-number, design differences.
Find one With Stars it's Worth a More
The 1794 "Starred Reverse" Liberty Cap large cent is a rare and highly sought-after numismatic variety featuring 94 tiny stars punched into the reverse border. Identified as Sheldon-48 (S-48), it is one of the most famous and valued US coin varieties, with only about 50-70 known examples
$29,950.00
