Man with a metal detector finds one cent coin dating back to 1798 buried under just a few inches of soil outside Maine church

Shane Houston discovered the historic coin in Embden, Maine last month
The penny was produced in 1798 - just six years after the first American mint was opened
Houston says the coin may only be worth $200, due to its deteriorated condition
