I think its more inconceivable that coin came from the ground, ive never seen a cleaner one. Nice dig!
There's a reason - it's inconceivable *cough*
Honest question, but why is it inconceivable? It's not in that good of condition.
I dug an 1865 2 center that's in waaaaay better shape than that. 10 feet away I found an 1832 largie also is fantastic shape. Both in an old apple orchard area that still has 5 to 10 apple trees. The soil in that area is extremely rich and black, and much different than the soil that's only 50 feet away.
I have pics of mine, but what makes this one look like it wasn't dug?

It's also worth noting tho that he doesn't say it as dug. He's a new member and could just be posting a coin store find
The lack of corrosion at all. A coin can have fantastic detail (like yours) but it's gonna have a patina of sorts (like yours). I've never heard of or seen a coin copper coin like that that didn't have a patina. It impossible, that coin was not dug - any MD veteran would agree.
