You found that coin metal detecting?
Amazing!
How about some pictures of the moment of the find! Any video? Which metal detector do you use?

 

I would love to see you get some useful information on your incredible find. You have posted this in the "Errors" section. I think you would get better information in the "World Coins" section. I wonder if one of the mods might move this for you?

Do you see what I mean with 5 over 7 .ty

 

Very cool find.
I don't do social media so I won't be viewing the other finds I guess, unless you want to throw some photos in the thread.

 

I have few post on here

 

It could be a 5 over 7.
I see Die number 10 on the reverse

 

Yes that was my thought to .ty

 

To find that in metal detecting is probably as rare as hitting the lottery! That is at least an AU, and even better when 1865 could be quite a rare date.

Sadly I don't have a KM book, but I can feel free to say that you've got an awesome coin.

 

Cool video.
Does it get a details grade or straight grade? I never found a gold coin before so that's why I'm asking. ??

 

Ty

 

We have to send them to be graded

 

I have a rare full gold stater I found check my first post I did on the forum.
