1793 liberty cap facing left........

librtyhead

I stopped in the local gas station to pickup my weekly handful of wheat cents (I trade the guy for matchbox cars).So I was showing him a peace dollar (he has never seen a peace dollar), well this guy was in line and he says "wow I haven't seen one of those for awhile" he then reaches in his shirt and pulls a 1793 liberty cap with a hole in it, dangling from a chain hanging around his neck! The thing that caught my eye was the facing left part it looked in probly vg-8 condition.I asked him where he got it he says "my son found it metal detecting in Concord" I asked him where, he said he didn't know......................just another coin story thought I would share.

That would be a pretty cool detector find !!!
Wonder if the hole was there when found, or drilled by "dad" ...

are you sure that wasn't lordmarcovan standing behind you in line there at the gas station?? (see today's world coin forum if you aren't familiar with him)

...Left Facing would most probably be a Half Cent???

Assuming it's a US coin then facing left would most definitely be a half cent and a 1793 half cent as well.
