Creeper, I've done the same thing.. long posts & lots of replies..
I took a close look at the cent, No doubling, it's the reflection on the wet surface.
regarding the pine tree, I see an odd fish shaped mark around the date,
what the heck is that
Thanks for looking! HH All

just a matter of getting your coil over it

[CrazySlasher]

Jesus. All these great finds on the forums lately. Grats on such an amazing coin.

[steelheadwill]

Thanks All!
Dawg, Johnny, Nana & Slasher,
around 30 years of production in varied issues that they had serious trouble keeping
in local circulation, there's a lot of them in the ground.
Too bad there's so much ground....
Thanks for your replies! HH All!

Hey Dawg & Steve
I can't believe it either, especially after thinking it was a lead token & walking around with it jangling in my pocket. Yup, lot's of snow comin, storm warnings.
Won't last long,
It's no collectors coin, but great for this MDer.
Read that link I posted above, no doubt there's more out there.
Question is, where is there
Thanks for the reply, & Best Digs, Herbie

Thanks Allen,
Afraid those last pix are as good as she's gettin..
I don't want a stripped coin like that 1877 IH seen from NCS.
Sedwick auctions resto won't touch it.
I got some of the crust off with acid & gentle manual flaking as recommended by University of Texas Shipwreck coin Conservation team (and Diver_Down)
Intrigued by that 'cartouche' , looks like the die was about to give out around the date. anyone seen something like that ??
thanks to everyone for the comments and votes.
there's more out there, I wanna see a Plain NE dug this year

Seeing those lines scared me thinking I hope that's not casting lines! But I believe I just found some good news!

Looks like your coin is Noe-1, and that matching die crack leaves very little doubt it's the real deal... something I was also a little concerned about from the first pics, and then the next showing the lines. But now I think this probably proves you got a good one!

Iron Patch, Finder of Obscure Information Extraordinaire!
The auction description states: "A later die state, with the reverse die crack spanning the reverse horizontally through the center with several lumps"
the dug example appears to be even more advanced, possibly one of the last struck.
(it looks like the entire date area is about to fall out)
Can't thank you enough for looking into this, I can offer you a great deal on a 1776 'Curency' coin
This certainly puts the 'Authentic' stamp on the item.
I sent Romeo1 some info on the wide circulation of the New England Silver,
and try as they might, they couldn't keep them in local circulation.
It's very possible there's a few in the ground around Dirtyville.
30 years of production yields a lot of coinage.
Again, Many thanks for finding my 'Cartouche'.
Great Digs to You!! Herbie.
