 to the family! Nice coin to find, but would suggest you find a better way to clean the coins. If you would like to sell someday, harshly cleaned like this one wont get top $. I can tell by the deep scratches all over, never use steel wool or hard bristle brush, NEVER use wire brush, OK for belt buckles and buttons, but not coins. Read up on how to restore and conserve dug coins on this site, got a lot of diggers here to share ideas with(not me tho, can't). BTW, only post once.... Edited by Crazyb0

All I used was water from the sink and didn't even rub it,the dirt just fell off ,didn't even use soap on that coin..maybe its scratched from being in the ground?

First of all, it is absolutely okay to post pics and ask questions. You don't have to be a serious collector to enjoy coins. If you didn't clean the coin with anything harsh, then it probably did get scratched while it was buried. As it is, it's worth about $100 -- give or take -- so...  If you find any more --- I'll be here waiting.  |

Thanks everyone for the welcome ...I hafto ask a serious question here though.i was looking up this coin on ebay,and there is one there graded by PCGS as a vf-20. Now,it has scratches and dings like mine,and for the life of me I don't see the difference in the two,mine and that one.Am I missing something?    Edited by WoodbutcherPA

If you want help (really good help) with the grade, start a new thread in the grading section. Copy and rename the pics before you post them on the new thread or they will disappear from here and that would make this thread rather dull.
But -- for inexpert help -- yeah, I would say somewhere around VF20 is about right.
That's a really good find.
I hope your good luck continues.
