So I was out in my backyard searching when this appears!

Pretty happy with it. Never found an old copper so for it to be a 1797 is even better!

That's in nice shape. I have one from the same year, but only clear enough to identify.

That's a pretty copper congrats

 

[port ewen ace]

with stems, details likely XF----figger about 100,000 times face value, -----------------that would be $1000 in cash or money.

What on earth is happening here ? When i look at todays finds for the last day or two, it's packed with early American coppers and silvers

 

[Steve in PA]

That's a beauty! I would spend a little more time in the backyard if I was you

 

[Argentium]

I don't remember seeing a DB that nice on here - that looks to be XF details (at least ) maybe dropped in AU condition , excellent find !

 

[maine_Jim]

Thanks for the nice comments. I have been working my yard and adjoining fields mostly finding stuff like matchboxes and 1940's cents and bullets. I was quite surprised when this popped out. I didn't think it would be worth this much!

Holy smokes that is a beautiful coin. Nice score!

 

[angelito1]

very very nice............................

 

[Silver Tree Chaser]

Condition is definitely far superior to what is usually encountered for an early copper. What side is usually noticeably worse than the other, but your coin is an exception.

 

[Diggin Dude]

Gotta love that coin!! Well done, congrats and HH

I've never dug a coin I'd consider having graded or cleaned or whatever by professionals. If I found that sweet penny I'd look into what might be the best option for restoration and grading. Very nice lawn care mission.
