1802 Draped Bust LC

I'm always jealous of you East coast folks. Might, and it's a big might, get a CC here in Cali but nothing like this.

Ha thanks guys. You'd really be jealous if you saw the coin spill I found in November. I dug a 1652 Pine Tree Shilling and a 1664 one real cob about 4' away. Talk about a dream come true. I posted them yesterday. We have some incredibly old dirt here in Maine. I wouldn't mind getting over some of those nice gold coins I see you Cali guys pull once in awhile. And trust me our weather has been terrible. Thanks for the feedback on the LC guys. I appreciate it. I've got a few more I will post in the neat future

I literally almost passed out when a small clump of dirt fell off and I could see those unmistakable branches glistening in the sun. I was even more amazed by the condition. Last year was my first full season of detecting and a Mass silver was #1 on what I call my Lifetime Goals List. I couldn't believe it found one so quickly. Likely will never happen again

When I get my dropped jaw closed again, I might be able to speak.

If you don't mind me asking, in what sort of location did you dig this? I live right down the road from a bed and breakfast that dates back to the late 19th century and a trolley stop that is even older. I have always wanted to detect there to see if I could find any coinage, but as of now two things are stopping me. One, the weather, and two, the fact that I've never even seen let alone held and used a metal detector in my life, so far.

First I have to warn you that I am a member of Early American Copper (EAC) and we grade copper coins very strictly. Although others are claiming this coin is AU I see the details grading no higher than EF-45. Due to heavy corrosion I will have to net grade this coin down two grades to VF-35. That basically means that I would be willing to pay VF-35 money for the coin even though the details are EF-45, this is due to the corrosion.
In my opinion this is die variety S-227. The fact that the highest wave of Liberty's hair is directly under the upright of the R is diagnostic. This die variety has a rarity designation of R.3 meaning that this is a fairly rare variety.
Therefore my grade and attribution for this coin is 1802 S-227 R.3 45/35.

Celticsoul I very much appreciate you chiming in. Anytime I can find a dug 200+ year old coin that's in VF or better condition I'm a very happy guy. And all I'm looking for is honest opinions here. I don't pretend that my coins are something they're not. They've been sitting in the dirt for hundreds of years. I'm just happy when I find one

Amazing find! - must be very exciting to find something like that.
I've found a few myself, but of course no american coins in my part of the world.
