<p>[QUOTE="mattman, post: 42630, member: 2621"]<b>Roy...You Id'd that 1851 perfect!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Heres pics of the 1851 coin. Found it mixed with some barber dimes in the collection, who knows how it got with them! Was starting to think I lost it for a minute. Anyway the Netherlands kinda makes sence tho, I found it metal detecting in Pennsyvania a while back and I think the Dutch and Netherlands are the same, kinda sorta maybe? I've heard that the Amish still use alot of old money amongst themselves. Any ideas on this anyone. Could be wrong, just some tidbit I picked up somewhere. Thanks for the info, I guess I know where to come for help. Oh yeah, I can't see the message while typing this, so if you already mentioned it forgive me, but which side would be considered obverse? Date side I presume but I'm not that familiar with world coins. MM</p><p><br /></p><p>PS> I know this coin don't grade that great, but you have to remeber I dug it out of the ground and it was basically just a black, crusty disk when it came out. At first I thought it was a 17-1800's era button until I cleaned it. (I know what your thinking but remember what I just said, Dug coin) Copper rarely comes out of the ground nice but silver comes out the ground just as it went in. Dirt dosen't stick to silver coins, it's amazing some times how nice they are after sitting in the ground for many, many decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
