1787 Fugio Cent!

Sick. That is just plain sick. Here in CA, they make historic monuments out of sites that date to the late 1700s to 1800-ish. But over there, there are places where EVERY HOUSE ON THE BLOCK can be that old. Ssssheeessk, no wonder your sandboxes are full of LC's and colonial coppers

That’s a fantastic find, congrats!

Totally amazing find!
I think a professional cleaning would be the only way to go

That's nothing, I found a 1986 memorial this weekend. Beat you by a year.

Oops, you said 1787.

Well, maybe next time.

(Nice find)

Daaaaaang jimmy, that is a coin that very few people will ever see come out of the dirt in person, big CONGRATS!

I have seen on ebay where a coin in pretty much your condition as is was about 47 bucks.. I don't know how much grading costs but personally if I owned it .. I would clean it up and then have it graded

if I was in the buying market.. I would prefer that over crusty.. I want to see every detail I can..

in the least you would get an easier sell an if you couldn't sell it then keep that sucker and show it off to your buddies
