Nice work, Deacon. Keep the faith, literally and figuratively.
I tend to agree, though I can see why it looks like a "1776" evasion copper or contemporary counterfeit, which I could also imagine. The quality...
@Paul M. beat me to it. Contemporary counterfeit, and a cool one.
Agreed. And I think it has a decent shot. Y'never know until you try, sometimes. PS- keep us posted on the results, later.
Check out this monster megalodon tooth my buddy Billy found. Those are not a child's hands in the picture. They're my wife's. And her hands and...
A local SE GA detector find. Not by me, but by my buddy Billy Ridenour. He has found some really pristine early large cents. Interestingly,...
@okbustchaser- that's a classic black-n'-white CircCam! @paddyman98 - I never would have thought of a steel CircCam, but I suppose that could be...
Very cool. Not a "DirtCam" like the ones I posted, but it does sorta follow along the CircCam lines, in a different way.
@Cascade- I know how weird it sounds, but I actually prefer circulated Morgan dollars with that look to bright MS coins a lot of the time. I like...
Oho! My old CU contacts are able to sneak up on me over here (after hiding in plain sight) when they've been incognito behind a different...

Ummm... ya think? That's the understatement of the week. You ever wanna swap that coin for considerably more than you paid, just let me know. ;)
@01mikep- you tried to post something from 1888 earlier, but fell behind and had to edit? Well, since it is now USA or 1913, I'll steer us to USA...
@01mikep - since we're now at Canada or 1913, and you like German Imperial, I'll play the coin I mentioned in the OP. German States (Saxony)...
Here's a 1913 Canadian large cent I dug while metal detecting. Rather a surprising find in North Carolina! Sadly, I accidentally hit the reverse...
Thanks. That coin was nice n' cheap, too. Only cost $31, delivered, already slabbed and TrueViewed! Lots of "bang for the buck", there! But by...
I've fallen behind and had to edit a couple of times, myself!
