1794 Large Cent

[Fullstock]

Went back to a house site I’ve hunted probably 60 times. Didn’t expect much, thought it was cleaned out, but then this happened. I guess no place is cleaned out….😁

It looks like you have the head of 1794. The Philly mint opened in 1793. Amazing find!

I believe it's this version as I see the pole going into the cap.

So true! That is a rare and beautiful coin. Well done Fullstock!

When you think a site is hunted out go back one more time! You proved it after being there 60 times! Beautiful recovery!

Such a great and historical find. Perhaps it made its way thru Washington’s or Jefferson’s pockets at one time or another 🤔. Fun to imagine. Congrats!

Her neck is wrong to be that one. Plus the hair below the cap dosn't match.

Note the hook in the lower curl of hair. That’s the clue. You have the head of 1794.
