Huge congrats! HH
 

For comparison's sake, there were 8x more 1916-D mercs minted than this coin
 

What a ridiculously rare coin. Way more tree coins on here than that thing. Unbelievable find in any condition. Banner all day long.

Thanks dirtwisher...I appreciate it...
 

Very cool coin, one of the very first half cents ever made in the US. After doing the cleanup and detective work, it must have been exhilarating for you to learn what you had found. Congrats!!

Oh yea..I was over the moon...Tjanks terpfan.
 

Pretty sweet! Other than the 1796, the 93 is the Liberty cap half cent to find.
 

they only made about 35 thousand.Nice rare coin
 

Thanks everyone. .

George you've got a real knack for finding great low mintage coins. That's a pretty good habit to have in this hobby. I'm dying to find a 1793 LC. 97 is closest I've come. You will find one bud. We both will :-)

Thanks ahab...the 93 with the chains is out there waiting for us...
