    I would guess that it's a 1783 blunt rays Nova Constellatio. I'm not sure of the exact variety.

    Wow! Good ID Tony!
    The second pic looked kinda familiar but...

    I would've guessed that to be a dug coin too.

    The house that it was in (in a box) is 1781, and I have found things in the yard, so perhaps the Aunt found it while gardening.
