<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Krow, post: 2214575, member: 75450&quot;]Hello all, my name is Erik and I am an Upstate New York resident, formerly growing up in Middleburgh (Schoharie Valley).</p><p><br /></p><p>After a visit to the creek with my metal detector, I found this, what appears to be a Large Cent, from 185* with a counter-stamp upon both front and back faces of the coin. It cleaned up great, with exception of the slight bend mark which has faded out the mid section of the coin, obscuring 3/4 of the date. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never found one before and am not likely to find one again after seeing the various posts here and in other forums. The markings seem to say (at least from what my untrained eyes see) &quot;P.H.LINK&quot;&nbsp; Could this be something oriented with a name? Possibly a business? And what would it be doing in the creek, under sediment and loose rock/stone? </p><p><br /></p><p>(images of coin [ATTACH=full]433073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433075[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any information on what the stamp could be would of course be amazing, but any information is relished by myself as I am hungry for knowledge. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am glad to be here as a member of the forum and I hope to keep posting my finds, so long as they keep coming! =)</p><p><br /></p><p>All the best,</p><p><br /></p><p>Erik &quot;The Krow&quot; Van Dyke[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
