Finally hit the 1700's

Went to an old farm property with a friend today and found a few odds and ends and my last find of the day was a large cent. I wasn't able to see the date until we got back to the vehicle and was able to wipe it off a little. Was pleasantly surprised to see that it was 1796! Got a couple flat buttons and a couple other things but definitely happy about breaking into the 1700's!

Heck of a way to break into the 1700's! Thats a tough year to find nice work

Very nice coin. I have yet to find one that old. Yet I can find a 12,000 year old arrowhead. I think they minted more arrowheads. Congratulations!!

1600's is definitely possible here on the East coast, but certainly elusive!

Very nice 1796! I wouldn't clean it any further, looks like a lot of detail is in the patina.
