1885 Silver Coin

1858 Silver Coin

I’ve been revisiting an old Southern Maine cellar hole for about a week and a half. I was pretty sure the site was 1800’s and and after today I’m absolutely sure. First time finding silver!

Looks like these are worth a bit too. Oh, and yours is 1858! Title mistakenly says 1885.

I’ve known the poster and her family since she was about 3 years old. All I’m going to say is, the hobby of metal detecting has now been forever changed! Congratulations on your first silver, can’t wait to come visit for our first hunt together!

That's a great coin! I have never found one and I live in Canada. That's the first year Canadian coins were minted and the only year Canadian 20 cents piece was produced.
