Default 2nd dollar coin

I went over to my sons in town to work on his pc, and took my detector with me. He has a tiny yard, but after making his computer worse, I went out in back, and my first hit, turned up this
dollar coin, with a 1789-1791 Washington, which popped out of the hole the way it looks. I didn't know what it was, and still really don't LOL. This is a 5 minute hunt, then had to leave.
Thanks for looking




too_

Any idea on when it came out ? I dug it around 3-4" down, so not brand new there I think !! Heck, don't know, but was fun to find.

Well I live in Colorado and for some reason it seems it takes a bit longer to get here But I think they are at least 2 years old, maybe a little less.
