My first holed coin, 1891 1 Franco Dominican Republic silver coin!

[treblehunter]

I went with oldjerseygirl back to our soybean fields, she found a Half Cent , looks like a braided hair cent, a wheatie and a couple flat buttons. She should be the poster girl for Garrett AT Pro!
I found a musket ball, little flat button and the holed silver. I didn't know what I found, I was sitting in the dirt licking that coin trying to figure out what I had. I had myself convinced I found my oldest silver coin I ever found. I had no service where I was and much later found out it was a uno (one Franco Dominican coin) Haaaa, scrappy told me what it was when I was driving home. Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited and very happy I found this cool coin! :-)
Here is a link to my coin,
1 Franco - Dominican Republic – Numista
They only minted 125,000 of these!

Hey nice digs. HH gl

Thanks guys, finding big silver like that is always cool for me especially when its a new coin that I never found to boot!

Silver is never bad. And it is an old coin. The possibilities at that place are endless. Also bet not many of those are found. I am still dreaming of finding a gold coin before I die. You just never know. We had a good day. Here is my half cent. Almost got a date.

Hey Jersey, Check the reverse of the coin. There were various backs, & you may be able to date it this way. Mine did not have a clear date, but by looking at the reverse it was the stemless wreath variety which was in 1804 only. Good luck.

I know things change over time. But, every time I find a coin in a field that big I always wonder
how did it get there!?

Nice again!

Hey, Coin Licker! Great finds!
The coin had great value to the wearer of it - do you sense that, too...?
Thanks for the post - keep at it, as there's more treasure out there to be found....!

I'm trying hard to talk the wife into visiting here cousin in Wilmington, DE this spring or summer. I will keep you posted.

Awesome coin, gotta wonder how certain coins find their way into the ground here in the US

I'm betting on a migrant worker dropped it. I found a Cuban coin in a farmer's yard, 1918. I'm betting same thing.
Thanks

Cool

Still think a migrant worker, never know what you might find out where it will be. Always exciting!
