1822 Coronet Copper

Did a few hunt at a local colonial farmhouse. My last copper was just a plain disk, so I was really happy to see this one was readable.

Man that is cool. Incredible to think someone lost that coin nearly 200 years ago. Nicely done!

Thanks everyone! I definitely plan on going back to this spot. Washington's army camped there for a night and i know the house was standing at the time. Haven't found anything from the army yet, but it has to be there.
