1798 large cent

[Jayanthonyr]

Found this on lunch break next to my job site only 3 inches down. Rang up 84 on the at pro. Can't make out the 7 but clearly its a draped bust. Took a negative pic for everyone. Shows the date better.

Ha absolutely. Only get a half hour. This was actually 1 of only 2 signals I got in the 20-25 yards I searched.

Nice lunch break find! I got a 1810 on my lunch break once. I'd keep hiring that site for sure. HH!

Congrats on a really nice find... 1700s coin on your lunchbreak... man that's the way I wanna roll. GL&HH!

jAY can you give us a description of the kind of site it was? house, field,or urban lot because sometimes i have a tendency to dismiss sites currently occupied by modern strutures thinking there cant possibly be any old coins here. Bad habit i know. What line of work you in that permits you to change job sites? BTW great coin.

Very nice, try rubbing some Beeswax wax on the coin as that may help bring out the details a little better...
