This coin was one of four and part of a coin spill that included two 1809
Half Cents and an 1816 LC. The obverse is in great shape while the reverse not so much. This coin spill (range of dates) led me to search the area intensely for GW inaugural buttons. I actually found one based on this hunch along with one of those huge 8 reales silver coins (1803). Seeing such a large piece of silver come from the ground initially made me think it was play money!
