Guess I should work my own front yard a little harder 8-) This old copper is so smooth I wasn't even sure it was a coin when I first got a hold of it. I have a Draped Bust that I was able to compare it to so I can just make out enough detail to identify it. No date or any lettering but I was thrilled to pull it out of my own yard lol The silver was fun too!

Good to see you posting Jerry. Nice old coin. Dig your yard up and forget mowing until next year. LOL
Don't forget to add that clip to the showroom.
