<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3236985, member: 10461&quot;]Some time later, I dug a 1914 Canadian large cent here on St. Simons Island, Georgia, which was tantalizingly mounted in one of those aluminum token rings like <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/encased-1920-canadian-large-cent-1940-128518567" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/encased-1920-canadian-large-cent-1940-128518567" rel="nofollow">this</a>.&nbsp; I say &quot;tantalizingly&quot; because unfortunately the aluminum ring was so horribly corroded that none of the inscriptions on it could be seen.&nbsp; That crumbled away shortly after I dug it, but the coin inside was in reasonably decent condition and had obviously been high grade when it was encased.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dug a third Canadian large cent, this one a dateless Victoria, in a local park on the mainland (Brunswick, GA).&nbsp; That particular park produced a lot of neat old coins and tokens from the early 1900s (and some older 1700s coins found earlier by another detectorist).</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of that park, and of &quot;problem&quot; coins, <a href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/466300/digs-o-the-day-january-10-2006" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/466300/digs-o-the-day-january-10-2006" rel="nofollow">I dug one there</a> that really had me going for a moment...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/oldattachments/2006-01-10d-Kings%20Square-concretion.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/oldattachments/2006-01-10e-Kings%20Square-coin%20edge.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/oldattachments/2006-01-10f-Kings%20Square-libnick.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
