<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 5132132, member: 34720&quot;]I&#039;ve seen a few people on here recently post some rather toasty coins, and it reminded me of one I found back in 2009 metal detecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was next to a Meetinghouse in Southern New Hampshire that was built in 1732. The disc popped out of the ground and it honestly looked like an electrical outlet plug. I threw it in my collections bag and gave it no further thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later that night, threw it in a cup of water just to see what would happen, and wouldn&#039;t you&nbsp; know it... A head popped out at me!</p><p><br /></p><p>I ended up reaching out to Tom Deck (largecents.net) and believe it or not, he was 99% sure this is a 1797 (with the 1&nbsp; 7&nbsp; 97 spacing). He was 50% sure it&#039;s a S-136.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just blew my mind he could get ANYTHING from this old crusty! Still in my collection. Not like anyone would buy it from me anyhow!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1204163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
