DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 7:16 pm I have never found a coin this slick before, I won't be pulling a date off this one. Size makes it a quarter and you can see remnants of the poll and arm to make it a Seated. All the other Seated coins out of this spot were G to VF. Makes me wonder if this was actually circulating in this condition. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 7:33 pm Did you put the hairlines on the surface by scrubbing, or are those part of the metal? It's so smooth that someone might have been preparing a love token out of it. Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 8:24 pm No scrub, spritz of H2O out in the field and then under the scope when I got home. It is basically as found...kind of crazy how smooth it is. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24878 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 9:57 pm That's a really slick coin, DOCC - any slicker and ID would've been impossible. How much does it weigh? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 12/26/2025 11:24 pm Paper thin Hondo, a whopping 3.92 grams. Not much silver left :-) I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
