Super excited!!

I don't know what it is yet or what date...i'm going home to clean this....cut the hunt short I'm so pumped. Will post better pics when I know what it is.



Edit

So this is my oldest coin and first capped bust.

Got home and cleaned it up. 1827 capped bust! All I can say is wow. I was leaving the spot and hit it next to a nail. It was getting way to hot out, I was pouring sweat after 10 or 15 minutes and decided to call it quits. I'm glad I swung on my way out of the woods.




Will be going back for sure! Thanks for checking this out! GL & HH!!!!

OMG. That looks sort of like a 2 cent piece ! Possibly a shield coin of some type ?

Congrats on a beauty! I am pretty positive I can see "10 C" on the reverse.

If the 1 in the date is has a flat top instead of pointed it makes it more rare

Thanks everyone I'm pretty excited, I have a question for everyone though, would this be worth sending off to have graded and slabbed? Any idea of how much that would run me? I may do it since it's my oldest find.

 

[Mackaydon]

Yes and yes !!
Great catch.
