The absolute cheapest detector I would reccomend is the Tesoro Compadre at around $160. Unless you can find a used brand name one for your $100 I...
The 1854 looks like it may have corrosion and has been cleaned, but I would think a fair price regardless.
It is just corroded, I often find wheat cents like that. I think it just depends on the soil conditions it is in.
No need to have it authenticated, it is the real deal. It is a Maris 63-s variety. It is one of the more common varieties, but a nice coin....
Metal detectors just won't work that way, not even the most expensive detectors with all the bells and whistles.
Post a picture here and someone may be able to help.
Looks like a cud to me, a really large one though.

What a great piece of history, and congratulations! If you haven't already done so, read up on John Hull and the Boston mint and the...

If there is a copy mark it should be easy to see. There are tons of these around without the copy that were made before they needed to be marked....
The two that were listed for $74 didn't sell for that, they were best offer accepted but didn't say what it was. But without more info we really...
OK, the search I did only came up with three sold, One for 39.11 plus 6.95, one for 45.00 plus 2.50, and one for 63.00 plus 2.00. I never meant...
Certified proof 65 1955 halves are selling for less than $50 on ebay., so you may have overpayed unless yours actually grades higher.
Hobo has it right, that is exactly what ground found clad coins look like.
I see nothing to indicate it isn't genuine, and a darn nice one too. As Bedford stated, if it is a counterfeit it is a good one.
I like it too! The Britannia is one of my favorite colonials, made by one of the mints that also made counterfeit halfpence. Yours isn't very...
