Words fail to tell you how jealous I am. I may just go and kill myself, or some other sentient creature.

Very nice digs there Steve. Not much chance of me breaking that 1700's barrier out here in Wa. state. Might have to make a trip back east if I want to do that. GL & HH.

Thanks guys, for all the kind words. After I cleaned the SLQ I'd grade it somewhere around XF , based on the detail, but the entire coin has a sandblasted look to it. I found this in a field, at the site of a very old tavern which is now just rubbled stone foundations so I'm guessing it's fertilizer damage. Good thing it was a Philly mint.

I showed the LC to a friend who found a 1794 many years ago. We headed out to another spot and I found an 1845 LC. It's been a very good day. I hope I haven't started out on the top of the hill.
