I dug this over the weekend. It’s very worn and the date is gone but judging by the obverse design, the weight and what’s left of the face I believe it is a 1796-1798 Drape Bust. There were several variations and mistakes during these years as the mint was just beginning to produce coins. It weighs 10.2 grams, smooth edge, has the stems on the bows, has a single leaf on the left and double on the right of the top of the wreath. Can anyone tell the year? My guess is 1797 from everything that I’ve read.
