An unusual find after digging clad and the occasional indian penny and barber dime on one of my hunts. Pretty well preserved after 200 years in the ground.

I just did some research on the fugio cent. Its quite the valuable penny even in the worst condition, and yours is in great condition! :)
 
very nice example Midas |:cheering: |:cheering: great picture was able to i'd the front with no problem the reverse however was a bit more of a challenge. it looks to me like a Miller 13-R. variety , a scarcer type . congrats on a nice coin Midas
