Awesome coin find!

The Latin legend on the reverse roughly translates to "No one can harm me unpunished."
This variety was issued in only three years 1677,78 and 79.

Very cool find and great job on the ID Isaac! Haven't seen many coins like that on TNet. Welcome to the 1600s club!! That must be a very nice site you've got there.

Well hello?! How did that one get there? Congrats that's an oldie. I have only found 3 17th Century coppers and they ain't easy to find!

Congrats and I'm glad you got a solid ID

You got yourself a nice old site to be giving those up!

That's a great looking bawbee 6 pence. Very hard to come by, and yours is in much better shape than one I dug at a 17th century site 3 years ago. Hopefully some early silver will follow ....

Congrats on an outstanding early dig Josh, killer coin

 

[against the wind]

Congrats to your friend.
You guys better make sure that no one is following you to that site. lol
Congrats again

I've not had many of them myself, rare find.

 

[Isaac]

I've only heard of a few being found. They are about the same time period as the elusive Tree shilling. There could be one nearby, or another period silver. Huge congrats and I'm looking for future posts from you!
