Good eye on the die break Jim, the top looks clipped also.

I assume this is just a police sketch as the coin has already been stolen for the purpose of cloning to make more fakes, right???

 

Just to clarify, I personally think OP's find is an awesome one and I second the motion that it just might be a prime site for going back with a metal detector.

 

Ok. based on the scan - it's obviously the real deal. I saw a coin like that in Kalamazoo back in the 1970's. It's possible that it was very late at night and I may not remember all the details.... But the commode sticks in my mind.....

 

OP, All the joking aside, I would really like to see pics or scans of the coin.

 

The original poster is just poking the forum with a stick.
The boy who cryed wolf has become the boy who cryed "Coin" !!!!!!

 

Agreed.

 

Now I have to ask do we know if the person who lived there in the 1800s was not a forger of coins Sorry guy's I just had to do it

 

You should have put a disclaimer or something on this post. I was drinking some Mountain Dew while I opened the pic, now it's on my desk!!

 

Chuckle, it was funny, but...

 

No cough, cough????
