Indeed!

Think about it: a coin minted 130+ years ago was still in service!

Nice find dude, my dad found me one at work a few years and I was definitely a very happy camper. I didn't even find the thing.

Still trying to figure out if it's an 1885 or 1886.

I did notice that in the photo. But in real life, depending on the angle of viewing, it has indications of an 1886. I would think the 1886 would be more likely, as it had six million more minted than the 1885.
