KEY COIN FINDS ?

[Dozer D]

Has anyone over the past two years +/- found a KEY COIN while CRH searching (metal detecting included) either cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, or halves? Have not heard of any great KEY finds in a long time. We all need a pick-me-up. Comments please.

My 1950d nickel was the last key date I found. In great shape too, full steps. Found in a mwr.

Not a key date but I found a 1914-S buffalo nickel(G4) in a mwr today. It has a weak but readable date. Good finds are still out there.

I found a nice '31-S buffalo late last year. Probably the most 'key date' coin I've found.

Got my first Indian Today 1864 in a CR roll pennies.

I found a '72 Doubled Die cent in 1987. My brother found a 1921S buffalo nickel in a roll. I still have it. Grades Fine with a full sharp date and about 1/2 horn on the buffalo, but has a scratch by "Liberty" that would probably give it a net grade if I sent it in. Those are my best keys.

I have found a few less common dates: 1918d buffalo, 1995 Doubled die, 1970S small date cent, 1960 small date cent, 1950D and 1939D Jeffs. And about 360 ounces of silver.

My 1897o that I dug up a few months ago came back from pcgs yesterday.

Wow great coin! Amazing that a coin can sit under ground for that long without damage. Too bad the '22 isn't in the same condition. Congrats!

Thanks Bro, the guy at the shop said I should get the 22 slabbed anyway. He said he sold a dug one a few years back for $450. That will be my next mission [emoji16].
