- Shane Houston discovered the historic coin in Embden, Maine last month
- The penny was produced in 1798 - just six years after the first American mint was opened
- Houston says the coin may only be worth $200, due to its deteriorated condition
- The North Carolina native has uncovered many historic trinkets with his metal detector, including a British musket ball dating back two centuries
