Ha!, don't be depressed collector01. For all we know Petain himself might have spent the coin once. If it makes you feel any better, the other day in a site prime for colonial pieces I dug a coin where only the golden edge showed through in the mud. Ever so slowly I removed more and more of the mud, only to to reveal a new French "gold color" 10 centime that had no reason for being there. Ha, if it wasn't for my French Deus being such a fine detector, I might become a conspiracy theorist. Anyway, congratulations on digging an unusual find that looks as ancient as any King George.
