MY OLDEST U.S. COIN YET 1800 LC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[woody420]

Today I headed to my favorite park. This park has gave up some amazing finds over the last couple years. It is also where my oldest finds to date were from including a 1785 reale and 1831 LC. Now I can say my oldest US coin is a 1800 Draped Bust Large Cent!!!!!!!!!!!!! Afraid to clean it any more than I have already. I think I'll leave it as is. The LC was down about 8-9 inches and masked by a square nail shown in the first pic. It was reading 83-84 and also negative vdi's from the nail. I've probably had my coil over that spot a 100 times and never dug it. Now I'll dig everything there with even a mixed positive/negative VDI. I'm so excited that I'm still shaking lol I know with the pics giving its hard to tell but any help norrowing down which variety it is would be a big help!!

Thanks for looking and HH Woody420
