Awesome find! I've found at least 20 large cents, but never found a half cent in six years of detecting. Not a common coin to dig, even here in New England.
 
I've found over 100 coppers of all types, only 2 half cents in that bunch. My last one was an 1824, in about he same shape as yours, which, for a dug coin, i think is in pretty good condition.
 
Great find!
thanks very much
