That's a nice looking coin. It's tough getting many of those old pre-1800's Coppers to look as good as that one. The ground was very generous to it. I hit the little double arrows on your page thinking it would show the flip side but I saw some of your other Coppers you found. I didn't notice your location. Eastern Seaboard? The pic with the Merc and Indian looks like they may have come out of salty mineralized water. Or maybe the shoreline?

Good Luck and stay healthy

She is indeed a beauty Steve. You have too many awesome coppers to have just one favorite though.

TR - yes, both came from the ocean in Southern RI. They were a nice surprise while I was beach hunting. I live in MA, but also hunt RI and CT (sometimes).

I agree Plunk, finding a coin like that would be a dream come true. Too bad PA doesn't have any old coins like that Sad

Awesome coin!:

My Own Wings - PA is a GREAT state to find big old coppers, here are two of mine that predate the coin in this post:

If you want to get into the older stuff, use the 1867 atlas. It is a wealth of info!
