i guess i must of dug this up when i dug for the footers and i noticed it when i was backfilling the holes after i poured concrete and i almost missed seeing it but it caught my eye and i thought it was just like a parking token or something like that because of the size and once i took a better look at it i realized what i actually found and put it away till i can get the right information on how to properly clean it up to show it better without damaging it any worse than it already is

1812 actually based on the bust type which is dubbed the “classic head.” Worth about $30 IMO.
