Great find Sandy. We don't find anything down here nearly that old so I'm always impressed when someone finds something that old. thumbsup01

thats a great old copper Sandie :clapping: :clapping: but unfortunately your picture just doesn't do it any justice :-\ any way of sharing a nice clear detailed close up of the front and back as we might be able to tell you which variety it is .

I will do my best to get as clear a picture as possible...I have not touched the coin to clean or anything like that and have been afraid to even handle it too much
