1796 LIBERTY CAP

[Dust Eater]

Scouted out an area in the woods and was fortunate enough to find a site.
Dug this 1796 Liberty Cap around the southern end of the cellar hole, and it's got some really nice detail for a dug coin.
Also got a knee buckle frame and an unusual amount of large flat buttons. No GWs yet though.

Thanks for sharing. I've visited this thread a number of times to admire your coin. What an interesting piece of history.

Like Biener I too have been back a few times to lust after this copper. Maybe looking too intensely, or a little too often, but I swear she turned and winked at me ! ( It was about 3:00 A.M. )
That is a real prize like the 1793 Chain, 1792 Wreath, and now also the recently found 1806 Cent ......

you can hardly find one of those with any detail even close to yours for under 600+ $
