<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SensibleSal66, post: 26116990, member: 115232&quot;]Hello all! <img src="https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>New thread here called &quot;Marvelous Miracle Monday!&quot;. Please post any Coin, Token, Medal or Currency that practically took a miracle to find and finally own. Also, follow it with a description or short story. <img src="https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/images/smilies/icon/wink.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This is an 1892S Barber Quarter that I dug up while Metal Detecting. It was a very trashy site, and I dug several aluminum pieces already. <img src="https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/images/smilies/icon/sad.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I was about ready to give up when I got a strange coin signal. It actually was two signals. The first one I dug a promising 1895 nickel in dire condition. It was bad but I checked the hole again and got a beautiful quarter signal or I had hoped. I dug some dirt and put it to my right side. I checked the hole again and got nothing. <img src="https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/images/smilies/icon/confused.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I then looked at the pile of dirt and peeking out of it was nice shiny reeded edge. I thought it was a Barber dime or something but when I gloriously snatched it up, I right of way noticed the Eagle on the back! Then came the date of 1892. I wasn&#039;t aware of the mintage but decided to check for a mint mark and low and behold, there was an &quot;S&quot; plain as day! When I looked it up at home, I was amazed. The odds of me finding it where I did is perplexing.</p><p>Just think. A trashy site in Eastern Connecticut and a key date barber quarter. I brought it to my monthly club meeting and won a barber dime and the President&#039;s Award. (Not U,S president, Club president <img src="https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/images/smilies/icon/rolleyes.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> ).</p><p>Here it is again! <img src="https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/images/smilies/icon/biggrin.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1666176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1666177[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
