<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2521441, member: 10461&quot;]Take it from a 40-year numismatist AND detecting veteran (I started both in 1976): you ain&#039;t gonna get rich off that 1889 cent, but its value as a great detecting find outweighs its mainstream numismatic ($) value to collectors (who are understandably picky about &quot;environmental damage&quot; on dug copper.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Go back to that site!&nbsp; There could be Seated and Barber dimes there!&nbsp; And maybe, just MAYBE ... something REALLY sweet!</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I really need to whisper the words &quot;gold coin&quot; in your ear?&nbsp; I bet not.&nbsp; Bet you already whispered it to yourself.&nbsp; Now, don&#039;t hold your breath- a gold coin still hasn&#039;t happened to me yet in 40 years, but a friend of mine dug two- a 1781 Spanish escudo and a 1907 $10 Liberty- on the same site!&nbsp; Saw &#039;em with my own eyes, and I know for a fact he dug &#039;em.&nbsp; It happens on those older sites.&nbsp; I once bought an 1899 $20 gold piece that was dug just north of here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on a cool find, never mind the money value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now... go get &#039;em!&nbsp; Keep it beepin&#039;![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
