🥇 BANNER 1875 S 20¢ coin right in my backyard.

[ross190]

Just went out in my yard for an hour or so and pulled an 1875 S seated liberty 20¢ coin. The pics don't do it justice the details are amazing.

Congrats on the great find!! Very elusive coin indeed- you virtually NEVER see them posted....

Maybe your next backyard find will be even rarer!

Good luck to you!

Great coin, she's a looker for sure

I once pulled a coin from the mud and I could see 'Twenty Cents' around the bottom edge,
after a rinse I discovered it was late 19th C Chinese silver
Congrats on your Banner !!

Congrats on the banner, did anyone tell you what it was? Just goes to show, you never know what or where your going to find cool stuff. It would be cool to hear the history on your yard.

First let me say congrats on the banner .!!! There are far fewer 20 centers showing up than gold coins and I think they all should make the banner. I think there have only been 4 or 5 posted on tn. I am pretty sure mine was the only one not to make banner but I was a new poster at the time and tn. was a different site. I'm still looking for the sister to mine perhaps one day! Thanks M.R. for the mention and again CONGRATS ON A SUPER RARE FIND. Goldbill

I figured it out when it appeared at the top.

I have just begun detecting and my yard has been great. House built in 1828. Finds in my yard to date:

3 large cents, including an 1801 error (unfortunately it has a hole in it)

3 Indian heads

A standing liberty quarter

The 1875 20 cent piece

Many wheats and clad

A silver spoon engraved with the house builders wife maiden name. I had it dated to 1790's. The handle is intact, but much of the bowl is missing. Still nice to have something from the original owners family.

But my favorite is a horse check tag from a famous ballroom down the street. It opened in the 1890's and they must have checked in horses like we do coats.

No problem at all. I agree that if mine is a banner, your buddies should be too. Where in Maine do you detect? I spend summers in Maine.

Congratulations on a fantastic find. These coins don't show their faces very often.
