All I found was a PENNY!

[nachotreasure]

The other week I bought a V3i from pulltabsteve. After reading the manual and doing some extensive button pushing I was ready to hunt. I went to a place that I went to at least a dozen times with my XLT. As I was walking along the same route that I always do I got a solid 91 at about 8. Thinking that it was another soda can I didn't get too excited. So I start to dig. At about 4 to 6 out pops this large coin, green and thick! As I'm looking at this coin I see that it has printing on the edge. So now I'm saying to Mr. Magoo, as he was with me at the time, This looks like some kind of play money!, and he's telling me it's something old and good. I ignore his comments because he is not wearing his glasses, he never wears his glasses, hence the name Mr.Magoo. After we hunt some more without finding anything else, we go home to check the Red Book. To my amazement, I find out Magoo was right, this coin is real and in fact from between 1793-1795. I just wish it was in better condition. Sorry I doubted you Magoo and thank you pulltabsteve. I love this new machine! Jeff

P.S. The edge printing reads one hundred for a dollar

Beautiful Liberty Cap Large Cent :clapping: :clapping: A great coin and not many of them minted. Congrats on a really nice coin.

I looked over a lot of the varieties for the Liberty Cap Large Cents and it probably isn't a 1795 or a 1796. I'm leaning towards a 1794. If anyone ever looks at it in person for you, I would mention Breen's #1659. If the reverse was in halfway decent shape, there is a section by the letter I (in America) that could confirm or deny that particular variety. The last little curl that wraps around to the 1 in the date, tells me it isn't a 1795 or 96. Hope this narrows it down a bit for you. This may be the one that you have....don't pay attention to the price lol It is in remarkable shape Look over different parts of your coin and see if things line up.
