Listing details

Draped Bust large cent copper "penny". Unfortunately, the coin is corroded from being in the ground. I did not find this myself, but the man I bought it from said his father found it metal detecting. The date is very hard to read, and is only visible at an angle, but I believe this is from the year 1800. The reverse is slightly better, but also damaged. Still, this is an inexpensive way to own an early American coin made during the first decade of the Philadelphia Mint's history.
