Neat find! From your screen name I'm guessing it was found in PA?

The picture of the sailing ship on the back is just so cool!!!!

I would be screaming if I found that, Superb Find!

Excellent coin. I had a decent collection of Washingtons years back. I didn't have this one though. This should still be worth around $100. Great find!

When are you giving it back to the owner or doesn't he know you got it?

I told Barb the other day about it. They don't want any of our finds. They are GREAT landowners.

Hey Kirk here is one my shipwreck finds. Don't know the date.I know it's 1700's maybe you can enlighten me. I know my Spanish coins but nothing about British.

It appears to be a British Condor Token circa 1795, not colonial, many many different varieties, sort of like store token, not legal tender issued by gov't.
Here is an example of one that is similar to yours, although the back is different. But like I said, many varieties exist......
