🥇 BANNER 1859D GOLD $1 Woop!

[Nana40]

Here ya go, Quindy and Judie.
So yesterday after the storms, my buddies and I went out for a hunt. Seems summer is finally coming to an end and we're ready! The temps were perfect and the soil was as soft as sweet potato pie. Tin foil, nails and 22 shells...make sure and dig 'em. About an hour into our hunt and after digging many of the previous mentioned, I got another low reading on my MXT with a loud tone. Four inches down under the roots of a cedar tree. I dig the hole and see a tiny gold looking, round something or other. My first thought was play money? Nah, not here. Then how about a foreign coin of some sort? Nah..I don't think so. I turn it over and see 1 Dollar. What! No way. I jump up and run to where my buddies are. We look it over, see the date and we all are in shock as to what it is. Oh happy day! That coin waited 155 years for me to find it. I have to wonder who lost such a beautiful coin. Wonder if there's another? lol
D ain't for Denver. Only 4,952 minted and I got one! Woop! I'ma happy gal.

WTG Nana. Don't let ModernMiner talk you into sending it to him so he can "grade" it! Banner vote in!

Nothing like gold let alone Georgia gold. Great find. If it's not a banner yet it will be.

Super find, and that baby's worth some big bucks. According to the 2015 redbook its worth $1600 in VF, and $2250 in EF. You dun good!

Worth more than that! Just ask her.

Congrats!

Great find. Would have been a great find even if it hadn't been a Dahlonega, but that definitely makes it Banner!

Congrats on a memorable find. That's the kind of target a lot of people would walk right over in a trashy area.
