Got this beauty in a recent coin machine find.
My first FEC in 30+ years of coin collecting. My oldest coin find & its even before the Civil War.
If only this coin could talk...

Cool!

In 1857, that could be the downpayment on a house!!! Fantastic find. I'm never found anything that old. I think my oldest was around 90 yrs old and a nickel if i remember right.

Is this considered G-3 grade?

Thx everyone for the kind words.
I actually find another "wow" coin in the same machine 3 weeks earlier. I will post it on another heading soon. I only recently figured out how to post pictures online here. Sorry, a middle age geezer here...

Now where can I get a dansco album for this FEC? lol

Yes, if only that coin could talk, tell us where it's been, who has held it, etc. wouldn't it be nice to get DNA makeup off that coin also. Nice find, I enjoy historical 'type'coins very much. Good job.
