I have to say that this is a little pet peeve of mine, about a lot of the posters on this board. I mean,..c'mon people, do not show a picture of a rare coin, unless you can take the time to tell us HOW you came about it. Is that asking too much?

Really nice.......... love finding old coins

 

[CRUSADER]

Steveo, you must have more time than just stating what it is?
How did you clean it? Assuming that you dug it of course, we have no idea, found in a shop

I agree........we need details!

Great find. Would love to read about the hunt.

That's as nice of a dug 3c as one could ever hope for. Those are low conductors to dig--especially if they are deep.


Congrats,

I don't know much about cleaning coins, but I have always been told a light brushing and not to polish.

I don't see any mention of this being a dug coin, and I have never seen a dug nickel coin (Jeffersons included) look like that even after cleaning.

I would love to hear how this coin was acquired.

Are you the Steve0 from Jackass? Nice coin SteveO

 

[Johnny Ringo Silver]

I look forward to reading the story about this find. Until then, I cannot really enjoy just a picture of a 3-cent piece. What were you detecting with if you were detecting and what kind of site was it found at? How deep was it and did you take any pre-cleaning photos? 8)

 

[whitesPA]

thats a nice one

Keep @ it and HH!!

Sorry guys didnt know it was that important where I found it. I dont consider this a rare coin, but a nice find as they are hard to detect. I was accually hopeing to pull a gold coin from this site but it has not happened. The only other coins from this spot found by friends were 2 - 1864 2 cent pieces and a 1902 v - nickle. As for the three cent it is a water find and it was totally incrusted in black goo all I have done to this coin was rub the black off with my fingers when it was wet. What I can fiqure it is a old buliding spot now under water, and luckly I found the person whom owns the lots under water where I am searching. The best part of it was it was the first target of the day and it was a sweet little signal and luckly I was set to dig most iron targets. Thats probley why I found it and others did not.
