My first Half Cent!

[DiggerinVA]

Found my first half cent today. An 1808 draped bust. Not perfect but not bad for 200 years in the ground. Pics are after a short soak. I think it will get a little better. Thanks for looking.

Any condition of a 200 year old coin from the ground is beautiful

All U.S. Half Cents are pretty rare as a metal detected find - they don't come up very often compared to Large Cents . You've got
a nice one there - there is actually some decent detail .

 

[Metal Illness]

Still on my wish list!!!! Big Congrats, awesome shape with detail still visible! WTG!!

That coin still very tough looking. Still worth about $50

That half cent is a kicka$$ start for the New Year . That little half sister is an inspiration, I am heading out rain or no rain .
