Please check the different die varieties, this is a weak die . Please somebody help, this may be hard to believe finding this metal detecting but actually it's going to be once of the best USA finds by a metal detector & I'm the one who found it.

There's not a method to 100% authenticate a coin from images alone. The reverse looks better than the obverse and only a TPG can tell for sure. No need to convince me or others here at CCF. If it does prove to be genuine it will certainly be the top numismatic find of 2015. |

BH1964 , thank you . What is a TPG ? I sent it out monday through a coin shop / PCGS dealer to PCGS . Everybody on Facebook is saying it is the find of a lifetime, I said 10 lifetimes. it will be the numismatic find of 2015 for real ? I am getting a new bigger coil for my metal detector that'll go even deeper. Between my nephew & I we found 4 colonial coppers, some large cents, lots of musket balls and broken cast iron kettle pieces, flat buttons and dandy buttons. I did find the other day an 1889 Seated dime, but I figure a farmer dropped that many years after the camp was gone. I promise I'll post photos when it comes back slabbed & graded. I was just wanting to know opinions on the grade since I will be waiting about 3 weeks to get it back. |

I wish you luck, and I hope it comes back good from the grading service. Please don't take any of the opinions the wrong way, there's lots and lots of experience on this site.

Neat find, I'm going to follow this thread and hope you'll come back and update us when it comes back from PCGS. TPG is a shorthand way of saying "third party grader" such as PCGS, NGC or ANACS are the three mentioned most often around CCF. -MV |

It'll come back good and thank you. I know there are so many fakes and reproductions of everything nowadays and people I understand may doubt such a find , but it was also found on my mother's 80th birthday and that meant so much to me. this was pulled from the earth by me and anyone can go to this facebook page to view the live find - *** Edited by Staff - Please review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. ***Edited by dignit

It's a real life mini-series. Certainly the story of the year.  |

The fact that it was dug does not mean it wasn't dropped there last week. A quick video search of popular video sites will show you people making these amazing "treasure hunt" videos showing them finding objects, relics, and coins they themselves had put in the ground right before the video was recorded.
I've heard of plenty of detector company shills "seeding" hot detecting areas with coins. Heck, some of them (White's, Garrett) used to sponsor it outright, inviting detectorists on "hunt days" where they would show how their new XPZT558PQ+ model or whatever would magically find that Double Eagle in 18" of salty or hot rock soil in the first 5 minutes that no one else had found on the last 50 hunts.
Hopefully this is just a cynical me talking, and this is real coinshooting and recovery and not some elaborate scam to drive people to click links or shill for a detector company, in which case, congratulations are yours to be had, and you might get a FOTY banner from W&ET or TreasureNet.
We'll see what PCGS says. Please upload pictures of the slab when you get it back.

I hope you are telling the truth and that all goes well with PCGS. If you're story is rrue, then I say with 99.9999% certainty that it is genuine. |

Just out of curiosity, if this coin is real, would PCGS give it a details grade because of the rim damage?
