    Hey all! There's one coin that I so desired to find in my "heyday" of Metal Detecting and was a lot of the time hitting the right time frame but it always eluded me. It's the 1793 Chain Cent. The closest I found to the year was 1795 Large cent I sold on "Fleabay".
    Okay, so if anyone has one, please post yours! I'd love to see some if necessary.
    Here's one from the net.

    I actually saw one "raw" dug at a farm field and the guy didn't even know what it was, I think. Unless it was a fake. :confused:

    This is another coin that I wouldn't trust to be real unless it was in a REAL slab. Even then, I might not be able to tell. LOL
