First off, let me apologize for posting these pics here because I posted them in my last thread on Today's Finds also. I am sure most are getting a little tired of that thread but I really want some input on a coin I found please. The coin is 9.2 grams and 28.63mm. I see a Draped Bust. Any thoughts from you guys? I appreciate some debate please.

I would say 'Yes'.

To be sure you should take pics of both sides of the coin from straight above, on a medium dark surface, in natural light. No fingers. That will offer the best chance to make comparison.

Thank you. I shall do as you asked as soon as the sun comes back out here in NePa. That may be a couple days lol. In your negative pic of my coin, it even looks like a "7" where the century number would be.

looks like a draped bust to me. I'd take that any day, even in that condition. they just simply don't exist in my part of the country, so it kinda gets under my skin when I see someone post something like 'went digging and all I found was just another crusty copper'. if those guys think that stuff is boring, they should try living here
