Your finest coin

CrazySlasher · May 16, 2010

Can we see some pictures of the finest coins you've found? Best condition, key dates etc...

I'd post some but I haven't found anything too great.

I'd love to post mine but don't have a camera good enough to take good clear shots. This is a list though of my best coins. When I can get a good camera I will post pics. 1909s VDB penny, 1909s IH penny 1901s Barber dime in very fine cond. 1919s standing Liberty quarter. Both pennies were found at the same site on different trips only yards from each other. At the site of the pike, an old amusement park on the beach in Long Beach, CA.

My favorite is my Franklin half.

My best - although not best condition.

Still shocks me that I found this in my front yard and my house was built in 1986!

Here's mine.

It's a 1827 cap bust dime i found this when i was relic hunting.

frankiefry · May 16, 2010

So far, mine is an 1894 O Barber half dollar that I found about 2 inches down under a bush on some private property that I had permission to hunt. I also found a 3 gram 14K ladies gold watch case that day. That was one heck of a great day for me. : )

Here are a couple. 1838 half dollar, last years flying eagle cents, a couple half dimes

Drosera · May 16, 2010

Tater, what year is that Flying Eagle on the bottom left? It looks like 1856, but the image is small.

Condition is a little rough, but it is a semi Key Date.....
