Guess I should work my own front yard a little harder 8-) This old copper is so smooth I wasn't even sure it was a coin when I first got a hold of it. I have a Draped Bust that I was able to compare it to so I can just make out enough detail to identify it. No date or any lettering but I was thrilled to pull it out of my own yard lol The silver was fun too!

Don't forget to add that clip to the showroom.
