Gallienus is right, dig less junk and you will dig less gold as well as deep old coins. I haven't found too much, a couple Connecticut coppers,...
Colonials in general, Connecticuts and Rosa Americanas in particular right now but that changes from time to time!
According to Breen's Encyclopedia, the weight should be 2.268 + or - .09. Yours is well within normal limits. Missing clad layers would lower the...
I have seen thousands, and put back into circulation hundreds of metal detected dimes. I would have to stick with environmental damage. What was...
I think it spent some time in the elements. Clad coins that are found metal detecting usually look like that.
The only Red Book I have is 1993, $5,500 in VF. That is the highest condition it is listed in. I really don't know where they get the pricing...
I have a few but I can't play, no way to post pictures! Most of my varieties have already been posted anyway, 9-P, 14-O,15-Y, I do have a 3-D...
Most definitely not a club ray variety, they are pretty distinct.
Hey, with free shipping you did just fine, probably about average retail. If it does have full bell lines, then you did even better. Pick a...
Wow! I have quite a few of those but not in those conditions. I have wanted a Higley since the first time I saw a picture of one as a kid about...
Seawater? Maybe a shipwreck salvage coin?
Imagine if we all liked and wanted the same coins, very boring, not to mention we couldn't afford them and there would not be enough to go around...
Of course there are those of us who can't imagine spending big money on a shiny Lincoln cent when you can get a beautiful old colonial copper! I...

Nickels found metal detecting usually have a copper color, don't really know the reason but may be the case here.
j16alb, what information have you found to support the Texas idea? Oh sorry, welcome to the forum!
For an R7 variety I'd take it, it's not like there are many examples to choose from!
You gotta love Fugios! I especially like the club ray varieties. I wish I had a really decent one, mine are all damaged or heavily worn.
Nice coin Toad! I will have to dig out my Nova Eborac after work and check which one it is, I think it is the same variety as yours but my memory...
Thanks, I'll be on the lookout for that book!
