Re: Finally found the coin I've always wanted to find.

I forgot to add that I think the reason we never found this before was that after I dug this, I had another signal in the hole and at about a foot down found an old Purolator oil filter. I was using the 5.75" coil on the Coinstrike so I'm thinking it was able to separate it just enough to pinpoint them individually.

Nice find, they are indeed hard to come by. Check the reverse, you might be able to narrow down the date depending upon what is or what isn't on the back......

I don't see a mint mark of any kind on the back.

Thanks guys, I always thought this was the most appealing looking coin ever minted and never thought I'd ever find one.

1320 is referring to the reverse orientation of the eagle whether or not stars are below the eagle. The mintmark is on the obverse.

There are what looks to be 3 stars below the eagle on mine.
