Toasted libery cap and some other goodies

[Greylock]

Spend a few hours in the back yard again today. Good to see stuff still coming out if this site because it was real fun when it was virgin. I put this site on the back burner all summer due to ticks and it being logged but I figured I should try it a few times before winter. After finding another draped bust LC yesterday I knew there was still something in there for me and heres the take. A toasted liberty cap, which is cool because I just got a liberty cap half cent last week. Some buttons a round ball another piece from the shoe buckle I found yesterday and a nice little knee buckle.

Thanks! We had some last week then it melted. Hopefully it will do the same or just not snow at all.

Tom.....NICE COIN!! Can't make out the last digit. Looked like a 4 before you cleaned it, cannot see what it is now. Can you confirm?

Those aren't before and after cleaning. That's just some bad lighting and some more bad lighting. I can't really tell. The last digit looks like a 0 to me. So I thought 6 but its too gone for me to tell.

Ya I guess it does look like a 4

Nice selection of digs.

Looks like one of the "Gardner" head varieties. Does it have a "lettered" edge??

 

[hogge]

Tom, What does the reverse look like?

 

[Greylock]

Tom, What does the reverse look like?

Blank. There's nothing I can see. Don't see any letters on the edge either

 

[hogge]

I'm "guessing" S-71 but would have to see reverse and better closeups on detail.

 

[hogge]

Can't be s-71 if not a lettered edge. Back to square 1. Pole is short.....not past bust. Need to know what last digit is.

All I can say is I think it's a 1794 and it looks like the poll stops at the bust.

Don't get much better than back yard finds. That mystery coin you found is driving me crazy.
