Lovely gold, @charlottedude . The 1811 with all the clashes is splendid. Probably the first time I use that word for a while;)
As a dude who spent all yesterday digging for one wheat cent and a handful of moderns, congrats on the big silver score, my friend! I detect and...
A letter from NY took 10 days to get to New Mex, whereas anything I bought on Amazon or Ebay got here on time, even if shipped USPS.
I scrolled down slowly from the top of the coin and actually laughed out loud when I saw the date.
Filling books with nice examples pulled from circulation is fun and you can continually upgrade;)

Exciting find in your own yard, fer sure! Any broken glass in there with 'em? I guess the fun now is figuring out what they were doing there. Got...
Ooh, any milk spot collectors around? I've got a couple of 61-63 mint sets spotty as hell.

Prices in northern New Mexico are very high. Maybe people trying to cash out and get lucky with a coastal buyer who doesn't know the market and...
That's a very nice coin... sorry it got bagged. I think the obverse color probably surprised them and they didn't know what to do. Reverse...
I suppose silver war nickels are a bit more dramatic and comparing them with this one is probably unfair... The previous is very evenly toned on...
Weird... and unfriendly to boot. I think anyone can bid on anything?
I would take a million pictures, definitely, then spam the internet with them. Bring it;)
Is it possible it's been plated at one point? It would explain the general mushiness...
