Draped Bust Half Cent!

[MightyMouse82]

Got out yesterday for about 2 hours during daughter's nap time and scored my oldest coin to date....what I think is a draped bust half cent. Can't get the date yet, kinda nervous to tamper with it too much but would be by far my oldest coin. Also a nice 1890 IH and a wheatie.

Congrats.....
Looks like a large cent to me, size wise.

Congrats on the great finds! Looks like some nice detail under that dirt on the 1/2 cent- post more pics if you decide to try to clean it up. GL!
