Coppers and silver "oldest copper nice 1794"

Hi all TnT here.. Hope all is well with everyone on T-net.
Finally had some time to sneak out for a few hours.

These are finds from last weeks hunt and today.
Last week I hit an old hot spot we have cleaned pretty good but still sneak out a few nice finds.
First target was net to a small tree, flipped it out and 1848 Large cent with almost perfect detail but some corrosion.
Next good Target was a 1889 seated dime in real nice shape.
Pulled a few buttons also.
I move to another site in the area that is almost silent when you swing (that's how much we have hit it)
Got a pretty Iffy tone (we dig everything). Pulled out what thought was a nickle, but at closer inspection it is a
1806 King George something? any info would be great.

Today I went to a spot we called the button spot. until today we pulled 70-80 buttons and a total of 4 coins. at 2-4" depth.
By the way I have been a whites guy for years and just started using the Minlab Explorer Se. to see if there is anything deeper at this site,
and judging from today as long as I can get use to it it will do well. Got a few buttons 2 at 6-7" and then pulled this sweet 1794
large cent at 6" she sure was pretty..

Well thanks for looking TnT

Re: Coppers and silver "oldest copper nice 1794"

This is the reverse of the 1794, I only ran water over the coin to clean it ( no brush) so its a little dirty yet.

Thanks tymcmurray for the Id...you guys are awesome..

Re: Coppers and silver "oldest copper nice 1794"

Nice finds, ah, there is something amiss with the Reverse side of the 1794 copper. I think I am seeing a double strike or something, can you look closely and or post another photo maybe a tad closer? The reverse has more on it than it should, at first I suspected a cast counterfeit, which have not ruled out yet, but maybe it is a double strike of some type on the reverse.

I see lines that should not be there, also CENT look like it is struck below CENT and there are other disparities, also part of a second fraction bar.

You might have a good coin if it is a legit one and double struck or a cast counterfeit or something to that effect.

Could you post the weight also?

Re: Coppers and silver "oldest copper nice 1794"

Ok Don

This is the best I could do

I think I see what you are looking at on the right side of the wreath

also if real can you tell if it is the 1794 Head or the 1793
