The 8 pointed stars on the reverse labels are the dead give away as a 15-Y. The obverse die crack helps ID too, especially on lower grade examples.
It is a 15-Y which I think is about a rarity 4. Looks like a pretty nice coin except for the reverse dig. I am not sure about the price, haven't...
If they are anything like the colonials I have found they aren't worth much! It depends on the soil conditions but the ones I find are toast!
Yes please keep us informed, that is an amazing find.
OK, I watched yr youtube video. Yours is definitely a cast replica, you can see the casting seam around the edge. Still a nice keepsake from...
This one is also a fake. These have been made in huge numbers over the years as souvenirs.
I don't see anything to dismiss either as a fake, unless those silverish spots on the Massachusetts are lead spots showing through on an...
Nice, I had to settle for a holed one!
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,...

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...
