I was having a smoke outside the back door at work today, and noticed a pile of broken concrete and a small bulldozer further down the parking lot. This, of course grabbed my attention immediately ;). Turns out, guys were cutting out sections of the concrete floor of a very old building (1905 is the earliest date i know of). when i got off work tonight, i wandered down there, and found the entire backside of the ground floor open. So i grabbed my MD and digger, and desided to step in there for a few. There were 6 sections approx 8'x10' cut out of the concrete, down to the dirt! This is in the middle of downtown, so i was rather skiddish and worked all six sections rather quickly. i found alot of broken iron pipe, but little else except this!

it does look alot like the machlin mills. I see that all the 1771 s are rare I would not clean it

maybe take it to a coin dealer should be able to tell if its real.
