Found my oldest coin YET! (1723)

[X-Splenda]

Found this at a new field i got permision on! within the first 10 min i found this coin. shortly after that i had to go it was getting dark! i am going back sunday and im gridding it! im hoping there's some colonial silver! But i am happy with this Farthing 1723! My oldest one yet. it beat my 1729 Halfpenny! Here's the pictures! The pictures are a tab blury but it has some great details for this coin! i should of took the picture when the coin was out of the case! it produces a glare with it. if you want me to take a picture with out a case just tell me!

Nice find, but stay away from those 230-year-old candy bars.

Congrats on a Woods Hibernia copper! That is one of my goals. That site should hold some more Colonial candy. Go dig 'em up and savor the flavor of a 230 year old candy bar.

Congrats on the old copper coin! Copper does not hold up very well here and they made them very thin. HH, Mike
