Petty worn due to the salt environment but still has detail especially in the right light

Nice find! Congrats! You're talking thousands of dollars, if I am reading correctly. You don't sound (type) like you're very excited....... :lol:

Well, everything I can find says 7,000+++++ for even the lowest condition coins, but heck, I have no clue what I am doing...... I just slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night...... ;)
 
Thanks guys!
Alright you asked for it....Edgartown, 5 days ago: There I was and I said to myself, self, let's go hit a beach on the harbor (a very historic harbor at that) I dig some nuts and bolts, lots of lead, some clad change, a round thin blank piece of silvery metal and I went home. The clad change and mystery disk wrapped in a napkin in my truck....The next day I decided to clean out my truck and when I finished the center console I started rubbing off the sand from the clad from my last dig the day prior in preparation to go into my change dish in my truck to be used for candy bars. I get to the freakin mystery disk and I all of sudden see a date right off the bat I hadn't seen when I dug it and put in my pocket...the closer I looked I could make out New England....immediately texted my buddies with whom got me into the sport, and one immediately replied saying "do you know what you have!" Needless to say I didn't and I'm completely taken back and in awe, one thousand thanks to all who have commented !
 
With some better photos you might get an exact match but here's the 2015 Redbook figures. Awesome find! Congratulations!

That appears to be the small pattern ......... but a huge find!! Price be damned that is a once in a lifetime find ...... and a well stamped item to boot! If that doesn't get the blood to pumping ........... nothing will. Send it to all the major magazines; see how many you make!!
 
What a great find for sure one of those bin on my bucket list for 25 years now and I'm sure it will be there another 25 once again awesome find congrats
 
That is what we call living the dream. I don't know a single New England detectorist who doesn't dream of finding a a Pine/Oak/Willow tree shilling.
