That 184 year old coin could have been in the ground for more than 150 years!

Almost the equivalent of finding a Roman coin in English soil. Quite nice condition to as well.  |

Thanks Everyone, I wrapped it up as soon as it came out of the ground, no field cleaning and made sure there was no rubbing by anyone I let handle it . So far it's just been rinsed in water, will soak in acetone when I get home with it. It came from good sandy soil and was about 11" down. Dug with an XP Deus. I was able to crop a couple in the clod pictures enough to get them to post    |

It is amazing how nice silver can look after all those years in the ground.
Thank you for sharing the "as dug" photos.

Awesome find! Would this coin be given a details grade by a TPG? Because it certainly doesn't look like a dug coin |

 Wow! Amazing find. Glad it was found by someone who appreciates it. It's in great shape. It's like it's been in the ground since it was new -- well almost new. |
