The title says it all (Moderators, I think this is the appropiate place yes?) Post your In Best Condition Dug Coins. I was going through some of this year's finds and noticed a few in really nice condition mercs. This one here is the nicest of them all. Show us a coin you've found that came out looking really nice!

Note: Except for soap & water, not cleaned or polished in any way. Let us know what cleaning you did to your coin posted [If any].

Well my best is not quite as good as most of yours on here.

This coin was in immaculate shape but someone at the time I found it rubbed it hence the scratch on the face. But before that I promise you it was immaculate! I sent it to the landowner so he could have something to remember the hunt by.


All I did to clean it was run a little water on it and then VERY carefully dry it off with a microfiber cloth.

Here is an absolutely ridiculous Barber dime that I dug just 1.5" deep in a small patch of woods in Washington, DC. It has just about full luster and if it isn't mint state, it's AU-58 at worst. I have dug more than 30 Barber coins, and none of them even come close to this one, condition-wise.

Congrats to everyone above, many very very nice coins. Mine aren't in the best of condition but there are many firsts involved with these two including my oldest coins yet and first Barber Dime and Quarter. I dug an "iffy" signal and pulled these 2 out of the same hole.
