Nice, but that's a foreign coin. I thought at first it was gonna be a
US coin.


Dated 1677?


Why not? Columbus discovered American in 1492.



The US didn't exist in 1677. It was Britiush colonies, and they used
mostly Spanish, French and British coins.
The US started making its own coins in 1792.
