Thank's all,My Avatar is the 1778 that i found this summer,up till now that was my oldest silver coin so far.Now if i can just find that draped bust silver i ben lookin for ! When i found this one today i thought it could be a draped bust.I found 2 draped bust large cents in the same area so as soon as i found it i put it in my bottle of water cuz i was afraid to look and see !Dan kept askin me if i was going to cheak,but i waited till we got back to his house and had a magnifiying glass. Hate to complain but i realy realy want that early american silver !
