SWAMP MONSTER

[smokedaddy]

Went out yesterday late afternoon, (Yes in the rain) . Covered the XLT and went to work in a field that has produced many coins from 1800 to early 1900's. I always bypassed a swampy area in the lower end. Since I was already wet and had the high boots on, I decided to check the area. Glad I did, after finding a harmonica reed and some brass shot shell ends, I hit a solid + 90 Signal. Out of the mud came my first Trade Dollar.

Took the "Swamp Monster" to a local coin shop and had her cleaned up. Here she is after her bath. Next step, she is going to get slabbed and graded. HH Folks !

Did u get it graded and slabbed or was it turned down because of the cleaning?

Actually the coin is sitting up in my safe. This one is staying with the family. Since it not going anywhere for a long long time, I'll let my daughters take care of what happens to it. Thanks for your interest.
