perdidogringo New Member Colombia 37 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 5:29 pm Hi guys, thanks for all the feedback on the coin. I tried to take better photos of all three coins I have found on the site in Panama, but I can't get any better quality with my Iphone 4S. Here are the other two coins (again, sorry for the lousy quality) - an 1848 large American cent (rough shape) and an 1849 French Franc (a little better).

perdidogringo New Member Colombia 37 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 6:00 pm You can learn a lot about metal detecting at various websites, Eagle Eye. I would encourage you to peruse the Friendly Metal Detecting Forum: http://metaldetectingforum.com/ There are lots of threads for newbies and veterans alike. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 01/24/2015 6:41 pm The 1849 1F is pretty nice, I'd say $100 retail is fair based on cgb http://www.cgb.fr/1-franc-ceres-iie...33284,a.html But it's a buyer's market. US ebay would be a disaster. If you can get the listing on ebay.fr you'd do better. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
perdidogringo New Member Colombia 37 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 11:23 am Thanks for the feedback on the Franc, THQ! It was a pretty cool coin to pull out of the ground. Most people figure that you'll probably find only American coins at a '49er site in Panama (or perhaps colombian coins), however, numerous other nationalities (thousands from Europe alone) also journeyed to California to try their luck. PS- The 1848 American cent is in pretty rough shape, no? Metal detectorists would describe it as "toasted". Is it even worth 1 cent, today?
