Some of my recent coin finds

[cti4sw]

I had originally posted that my best find was an 1805 Draped Bust large cent, found while I was in the Navy in Monterey, CA.

Since posting, I have found five more that beat the snot out of that ol' DB largie ~ and they were all found in the same place!

1793 Flowing Hair/Wreath/ Vine & Bars large cent


1804 Draped Bust/Plain 4/Stemless half cent


1814 Classic Head large cent


1851 Braided Hair half cent


1911 Indian Head $2.50 gold quarter eagle



Somehow I don't think I'll ever do any better than these, but I hope Karma & Fate see this and say, "Oh yeah? Watch!"

Here is Scott's half real:

The Draped Bust is no slouch but the Indian and the Flowing Hair are just inspiring.

EXCELLENT FINDS
