<p>[QUOTE="CTDirtFisher, post: 1717912, member: 38694"]It was recovered in a park that has been there since the mid 1800's... I call it indian park because I have recovered 60+ Indian head pennies from it. The park has yielded me 4 seated coins (3 dimes and 1 quarter), one of the seated dimes being a nice 1877 Love token, countless Barber dimes, 3 US Large Cents, and a few Mercs... I've recovered 10-12 buffalo/V's from this park as well... It is rare to dig any coin with high nickle content that holds up... In fact this coin had some major pitting and the reverse is almost all gone... The date it the strongest part of the coin... I'll post some updates pictures today... I'm not a coin collector and have kept all of the older coins I've recovered - I've kept all of the half dollars and barbers. I did sell of all of the roosies, merc's and washington quarters when silver was at $46/oz... At best it would only be a place hold in a set for someone that could never afford a proper 1885, but wants to complete their collection...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
