My first ever gold coin - 2 1/2 dollar, 1847 O !

Been on cloud nine all day. Also got 3 silver dimes, a copper ID bracelet engraved and a maker's mark of GOLDEN KEY with a skeleton key symbol, wheaties, and some other stuff. Haven't taken a group picture yet cause I'm still reeling!

Thanks for looking!

Congrats Ina! She's a beaut!!
 

Nice save......banner!!!
 

Probably because it needs better pictures to be on banner..

Really? Respectfully, The pictures are more than adequate. Are you sure you don't know something we don't?

Fantastic!! Congrats!! It is a pretty unique feeling when you see a gold coin pop out!!

Happy For You!!
 

Oh man, that's super sweet. I'd probably pee my pants if I dug one of those. huge congrats!

I'm an old guy....I don't say things like that cause I might jinx myself!

The coin looks a bit dinged up....you should probably throw it back and look for an uncirculated one, but tell me where you throw it, lol. Congrats to you! I would have a hard time deciding whether to leave right then so I could clean it and post pics or continue on digging to see what else I might find. What did you do?
 

wow there is gold in them holes!!!! big congrats and a hunting companion found two stuck together? sounds like a cache was stashed near by. voting banner
 

That is beautiful!
 

Still like to know why this gorgeous coin still hasn't made banner. Every gold coin usually makes it to the top. The last one that did was bent and had a hole so why isn't this one up there? The post has 2500 views and almost 100 replies, with many of them mentioning banner. So what's the deal??

As mentioned earlier and on post above waiting on better pictures.
 

Sorry I missed that - thanks!
No problem sir[emoji106] .....

Banner finds have to look good on the banner, just any old picture want get a find on banner no matter how many votes it got if the pictures are poor.
 

I see it very clearly! And so do the others that say its a great find!! I seldom do the forum thing...wonder why?

Why?

It is the same thing we do for all banner finds. We want the best pictures possible.
 

Yup, it's a Banner find for sure, i would also like to see the group shot, it would look awesome.
ZDD
