Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 09:03 am This is the S-65 that I dug in Greensboro Pa. Our little town was chartered in 1781 ... and all the street names are the same as when the town was laid out, and none of them have been widened. How's that for continuity? I wish I could have dug this a hundred years sooner. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 5:49 pm One thing to remember is the VF-30 that was mentioned for the finest known was an EAC grade not a TPG grade. I would think this coin would also be an EAC 30. I think it is a little better than the Reynolds coin, but not quite as nice as the Holmes coin. Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 03:26 am That S-65 still shows considerable detail, Chance. An exciting find for sure. Conder, thank you - that is also what I think. Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 05:23 am It was definitely one of my more memorable finds. I dug two silver Luckenbach brooches from the late 1600s here. One on the farm of the family that started the first glass making concern in the US. The second one was found on the farm of his brother. He had been president of the local GAR for a time. I dug his bronze membership star in one of the fields they used to cultvate. Jefferson's Secretary of State lived about 3 miles from my house "as the crow flies". Amazing things happened here early on. Now, nothing happens here. Its a "bedroom town" and the young people head north to find gainful employment as fast as they can. Best of luck with the draped bust. Its an impressive coin. Conder101's mention of EAC makes me want to go visit their site. I need a nice Classic head. I have a dug one .. an 1811, all corroded up with a hole drilled at 12 o'clock. My type set doesn't have any junk in it, and I'm not going to start there. I think I'll see what EAC has to offer. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 11:38 am EAC is more of an educational organization. While there are member dealers, the EAC website does not offer coins for sale. Well except for the listing of the annual sale at the Convention, but you have to be a member to participate in the sale. Edited by Conder101 10/15/2017 11:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 10/15/2017 9:28 pm I can recall seeing some impressive coppers on their website several years ago. I was awestruck at the time. I thought they did retail sales too. Too bad for me. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
