Hey all, I have found a german coin...in America...from 1909 ??? I found this under the old flooring of a dock that has been torn down, this dock has been around since the civil war I think, my only guess is a german sailor dropped it and it fell through the floor cracks, it is in great condition as it has never been exposed to the elements...and I think it's pure silver....can anyone tell me anything about this coin.....oh I also found some clad and an old spoon.... ;D this is my greatest find to date.....I almost soiled myself ;D
