jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 02/16/2022 12:50 pm Fantastic!! Considering it is a metal detecting find, I am impressed the only thing going against it is that the coin is bent. Also, that was a quick turn around time for a TPG. Suffering from bust half fever.

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 9:42 pm Awesome find. Don't trust that coin shop. It's damaged but worth at least double what they offered you if graded..I scrolled back up and you had it graded. Good for you. Very nice find. Btw how deep was it? What type of metal detector? and what were the pre set settings for the terrain type? Edited by DoctorBurnzy 02/23/2022 9:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
What the beep New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/24/2022 06:25 am Found with a Minelab Equinox 800, 11" coil, Field 2 mode, about 4" deep in a farm field. I neglected to mention I paid for the conservation service with NGC. I don't know what method they use but the dark discoloration was greatly improved. Report this Post to the Staff
Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 02/24/2022 9:18 pm A great find. I congratulate you. Well done for sending the coin to NGC. You got a good grade. I think you should keep this coin as a keepsake, but of course it's up to you. Congratulations again. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/24/2022 10:09 pm Interesting piece of early American numismatic history, in relatively nice condition. Thin bent coins can be flattened to some extend by carefully squeezing between two sheets of hard rubber in a vise. I have used this technique quite successfully on silver coins less than 300 years old, but always a risk (may snap in two!), with much older coins, due to the possibility of silver crystallization . I do not think OK to proceed in this case, because if there is any bending, it is not severe enough, judging from the pictures. Besides, it is slabbed anyway. I cannot see any wear in Lib's hair, so I agree with the slab grading. Edited by sel_69l 02/25/2022 05:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
