coin

Good evening, friends. Found this coin today. We can't make out the date on this one, but we *think* we see the word "liberty" on the right. Just not sure. Any ideas? Had lovely weather here today--hope you did, too! Thanks for looking. -Lisa & John

Hello friends, hope you all had a safe winter. We had our first hunt of the year a couple of days ago here in Massachusetts at John's 1683 property. Found this coin, but can't quite make out the date's last digit! Definitely a draped bust large cent though. Enjoy and happy hunting! ~Lisa & John

Hi everyone I'm Kylie I'm new to your site and I found this 2009 penny in my change a few years back and have always wondered about it. It appears to be wrinkled, and have no clue if it's worth anything or how this could even happen any information on this penny would be appreciated.thabkbyou...

Good evening, friend of the forum I need once more of the help of the community for more is mission thanks to all those that help me.

I recently purchased a bundle of German medals online. I am familiar with all but this one which is titled, "Wilhelm II Deutscher Kaiser" on its front side. I know that similar coins or marks exist that share the same imagine of the Kaiser on the front side, however this item has a loophole as...

Today I went back to the permission from last weeks post with the buttons and silvers, and was sooo excited at the prospect of more of the same. Unfortunately I didn't find anything at the same site . I decided to go to a spot about 50 yards away that tends to be very trashy. I dug for two...

Amanda and I have officially waged war on silver. Particularly silver coins. Sure we'll take silver jewelry and gold but this silver war is personal. The first coin in our sights is a mercury dime and if you make it far enough through this video you may see us detect our first one. The first...

SWEET Colonial coin in the woods !!! (DISCLAIMER: beware ear bleeding voice over comedy in the beginning ahahhaha :laughing7::laughing7:)

I recently unearthed this coin/token from an old home site (probably from 1930's), but the area has been inhabited for a long time before that (Ayer, MA). It was about 6"-8" deep. It's 1 mm thick, and 28 mm (1-1/8") in diameter (noticeably bigger than a quarter). But it's pretty corroded: the...

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I just finished looking through 10 half dollar bank rolls and found this... It appears to be silver, the edge of the coin is one reason why it does, also the metal just looks different overall compared to other non silver half dollars. This wouldn't normally...

John found this one about 18" down. It's about 29 mm. Wish it was in better condition, but what can you do? We think it's another KG2 halfpenny. Thanks for looking! -Lisa & John

Went out with a new friend today for about 2.5 hours. He agreed to let me and a guy that's from the local historical society tag along to a property that dates back to the 1700s. It was supposed to be a one time permission but as it turns out I actually know the land owner! He works in the same...

Hi everyone, I'm writing to you from beautiful NH while I am on vacation. John did a bit of detecting today and found a large amount of buttons and a mystery coin. I do not have my coin book with me, so if any of you can ID this, we would greatly appreciate it. As for the buttons, we're curious...

My brother picked this coin at our job's parking lot and as he was about to toss it, I said WAIT! I looked at it and I said to him this might be a silver reales, he looked at it and didn't cared for it so he gave it to me. The real question is: what can it be? I know it's unidentifiable but...

Hi all, Did a bit of detecting today. Found a couple of small silver buttons (duplicates of ones we already have), a neat old padlock (not too exciting--iron), and this unidentified coin. Okay, so I know some folks say not to clean them, but...there were NO marks at all visible, no silhouette...

I am new to metal detecting. I feel so much fun when I go out to explore those strange stuff and old coins. Really exciting be a new member of this forum. By the way, my name is Jeffrey and I live in Kent, OH. Anyone live in Kent? Hope to find someone detecting together. :)

Its a 1894 Canadian 10 cent piece. This also happens to be my oldest Canadian coin to date as well. SUPER HAPPY! :icon_thumright:

I'v got this old worn coin. I doubt its worth any thing, but I would like to at least know what it is and where it is from. It's pretty thick, thick as two US quarters together. A quarter is what I have in the images for scale. It has some writing on it tho I can make out what it says...

Need help identifying. Anyone have any suggestions?penny for size comparison. Thanks

If I want to get rare and/or old coins from a bank what kinds of coins should I ask them for if I have 15 dollars? Should I ask for 15 dollars in quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies? Or just one type of coin? What kind of coin or combination of coins should I ask for with me having a fairly...

Found in recycling bin today: Sterling silver belt buckle with Mexican motif and coin or medallion inlay. Stamped 925. Needs cleaning but definitely cool looking. Teotihuacan Mexico [ATTACH=CONFIG] Question... Is that a coin, medallion or just a circular design inlay? Thx!

I have a very odd coin. It was found years ago, and I have been trying to figure out what it is and have had no luck. Hopefully someone here can help. Thank you in advance!

Scarab Good Luck Talisman? Hi I recently bought this item in an online auction, I know, not found, but it looked intriguing. Now that I have it I can't find out anything about it and wondered if anyone else had seen one and/or could tell me anything about it? I've had the Arabic script on the...

This is my 3rd time hitting up this park that used to be a field that had Confederate units close by. Same park I found my first Enfield and another possible CW bullet. I spent around 3 hours there today. A nice lady came up to me today and was chatting me up and then asked if i had a pin...

Found a coin today. It has asian writing on it for sure but I'm not sure what it is. Looks like a Japanese Yen maybe but I cannot i.d. it. Need some help. Thanks y'all

I posted this in Todays Finds, but moving it here..... Today, I paid 25-cents for a shamrock-shaped wooden trivet that has embedded 91-cents in coins: Kennedy Half-dollar, quarter, dime, nickel, penny. All dated 1930 except for 1965 half dollar. The commemorative plate: "Margie; Happy 50th, Dec...

Got my metal detector last week - a newbie. Uncle next door has found hundreds of civil war and colonial relics / coins. Found this round metal piece in the woods. Appears to be carved... Or maybe not? Any thoughts?

Hello treasure hunters! I recently dug my best coin ever. My question for you is, what would you do with it? Would you send it for grading? What would you expect back? What would you be happy getting if you sold it? Ive read a lot of post on here about sending in dug coins, not to do it...

I found this a while back but have never been able to identify it. I think it is a coin? Best i can make out it looks like 1663 with a crown on the front and the Roman numeral II on the back with the word Authority. Anybody have a clue??

In the past three weeks I've been digging up more Canadian coins than Newfoundlands. These are the best I have found in that amount of time. 8-) Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures. :laughing7: 1960 Canadian 25 cents. SILVER! 1943 Canadian 10 cents. SILVER! 1938...

Well, well, well... Today was a good day! :icon_thumright: Here is my most worn Newfoundland five cent; no date visible, but King Ed. :laughing7: 1959 Canadian dime. :thumbsup: Girl scouts button? 1941 Newfoundland "Smallie" one cent (Found this in a place people hung out in the...

Found this excellent conditioned Newfoundland small cent today. 8-)

This was the first Newfoundland "Largie" I ever found.:blackbeard: I love this coin especially the condition.

Just dug up this Newfoundland one cent "Largie". It's my first Newfoundland coin from the 1920's and it is the most recent date in my collection. Can't believe the detail. Monarch side still needs cleaning.:hello2:

This was the first Newfoundland coin I ever found(Lucky me:thumbsup:) The best coin so far in my ever growing collection. It's the smallest Newfoundland coin you can find.

A 1865 Newfoundland one cent(largie type) I found. The third oldest in my collection since my metal detecting career began. 8-) Monarch side is still too dirty to see.:sadsmiley:

Have you ever seen or even heard of a 20 cent piece!? So far, this is my favorite and the oldest silver coin I have found. Found it at an old house property in my little town.:headbang:

I don't know what is more common: the small cent or the large cent. I found this 1940 Newfoundland small cent. It is the same size as a US/CAN penny. Usually, they come out of the ground in a rough condition; but this one is in the best condition yet!

Found another Newfoundland one cent coin. It is one of the best conditioned large cents I have found so far. Oh! And it's another Victorian era coin. The sixth oldest in my collection of dug coins. :thumbsup::hello2:

US coin from mid 1800's I thought this was a US large cent when I found it, but the back is wrong. The Liberty on the front looks like the large cents from 1839 to 1857; however, rather than having a wreath on the back, this coin has an eagle facing left and holding arrows. There does not...
