1888 Home gives up 1869 Key Date IH , Silver and a few Wheats

[crazyjarhead]

Hello everyone. Went back to the new place I started to hunt recently and found 3 more IH's , (1869, 1902, 1904) a 1941 merc, a 1939 Wheat and the ever so common 1958D and some kind of jewelery that looks like a wierd bug The 1904 IH is in great shape. I haven't refined the cleaning yet but know it will clean up very nicely when I get time. I know it isn't valuable but unique. This hunt brings the total to 8 IH's 31 wheats and 2 silver. Still have a lot of ground to cover. While digging I find pieces of brick. I wonder if there used to be another home here at one time Tonight I was joined with my hunting partner Randy with his Explorer SE and a new friend who is a Doctor with a Minelab Exterra. Both are still getting used to their machines and didn't find much worth mentioning.

Went to the old Central Ohio Fairgrounds before me met up at the house. It has been hunted for years. No luck there. Just some modern clad . Thanks for looking. Ron

My bad.....It might grade F-12 the more I look at it. Misquoted the price. Was looking at 1869/9. $220 is F-12. It's a $100 coin my friend.

Thanks for the link Nova.You have to understand that everything I find I keep. My wife says, "sell them!!" I have quite a few nice IH's that would bring 100 bucks or more easily. I just like to keep them and not sell them.

Actually Hogge I think you was looking at the wrong price, the 1869 over 9 is vg-8 200 the regular/normal 1869 is 100.00 but I'm fairly sure it is a Fine-12 definition for fine 12 IH is LIBERTY mostly visible altho there is a chance it's vf

Nice to see there are some of us that collect, sell, and can grade coins by eye. Although some of us may differ, we are pretty close as regards to condition and grade. Thanks Creeper! Alot of people go JUST by grade alone. They don't understand, that being a ground found copper,(especially), you loose 1/2 the value from ANY grade. Then any other damage takes away more value. Eases up on disappointment if someone goes to a coin dealer thinking they have a $500 coin and the dealer says I'll give ya 40-50 for it. Knowledge is key.

Im like you never sell tell wife they are for my retirement fund some day lol. i have sold new pennies found crhing but took money and bought silver dollars with it to reinvest. Hate the new coinage. Years ago I sold a few 40 percent rolls on ebay because I felt awesome making that profit on something I got for face value now I wish I had every one back in the stash. lol

New coins will not be there for the next generation. I pull newer memorial today that are corroded so bad you can't tell what they are. It's a shame that America can't make a better coin as we are a strong nation. I feel coins symbolize a country. We can do better than that.
