Draped Bust Half Cent?

[marh415]

Found it yesterday, pretty sure it's a draped bust half cent. I showed some co-workers and they seem to agree it resembles it too, but I'm still not 100% sure. I found a local coin guy who will do ultrasonic cleaning and help identify it for free, but anyway, here's a pic!

Likely, but please describe the circumstances of how you found it? Medal detecting, for sure. If you picked this off the sidewalk well, I'd have my doubts.

No, I found this in a fairly dense wooded area. It was about 6" inches down, not far from a stone wall I was detecting near.

Probably is the real deal then.

It's in wack condition but it's true as glue homie

Update: Turns out it's a British half penny, too much damage to do ultrasonic cleaning, it's even worse on the opposite side. Going to soak it in olive oil for a while to see if I can get a date on it.

it fooled the best of the best, should have left it alone and tried to pass it to auction as a worn draped bust half cent.

This kinda sounds a lil sleazy and low.

Great find marh415.

50 right to a point it's not always about the money but the love of the hobby treasure hunter for life

Fiddy sayz it once and I sayz it again, if there were no money involved treasure hunting wouldn't exist in da first place.

True but if it something like metal detecting it cool because you learn about history
