Well, another hot & Humid day.. and wanted to get out of the house for a while and MD , so.. went to a default park and went to an area that I usually do not go to.. I was there only 5 or 10 minutes and wham!!!! My first Half Cent!! <: Even though its not in the best of shape, I'll take it.. can seem to read the date.
Naturally, I called Hockeyguy as I needed to tell someone.. I described it to him as a flowing hair 1/2 cent.. and Im looking in my Red book at examples, and can only find one similar 1794, but my coin don't have the cap like in the example.. so I am hoping someone (Del, coinnut, heavymetal...someone) can help me ID this baby..
One last thing.. I really restrain myself from trying to over clean these old coppers, but do you think I should soak in Mineral oil for a bit?
