Stubble corn / 1876 home site yields another first

I know it's a fattie compared to all my other IH can make out 186?. Last IH from this site was a 1865......not a fattie. ...Got to be before 1864...........right? As soon as I got it from the hole and saw the Indian on it, and felt the thickness I knew what it was! 4th coin from here....ranging from 1844-1865

I'm seeing 1865, the 5 being all but gone. But then again, I've not changed the prescription of my glasses in over 6 years. Great find and hope there are more to come!

Looks like 1862 to me - fantastic finds anyway you slice it!

Hi! Is this a old house site? This IHC looks like it has been charred long ago. I'll bet an old house/cabin burned down there. Could be some nice old Seated Liberty silver in that spot, and I hope you find some. Thanks for sharing.

I saw you said it was an old home site in your description. What I meant is do you think it is a single family dwelling, a cluster of homes, a large working farm, etc.?

In 1876 there were two 17 acre farms, now it is a 35 acre field within the foot print of a County Park. They may very well have burned the house down, when they added it to the Park, which is over 400 acres!

A nice fattie.And my guess would be 1862 also.

I'll guess 1862 ... Cryin' shame, must have been fertilizers or some hazardous acidic contamination that roached the cent . Still your in a good spot , keep pounding more fatties
