I can't believe I found a second one of these

Greetings everyone!
Arrived home from work this evening and decided to walk to the park for a quick hunt. Battery was low so I grabbed the other battery pack, loaded in some fresh batteries, and off I went. Wasn't much happening for the first 30 minutes. Moved to a different area and got a weak signal. Couldn't do much with pinpointing, so I did the best I could in detecting mode. Dug down about 5-6 inches and found the target. My first thought after a little wipe of the finger was that I had found a second 1914D wheatie. I thought no, it couldn't be. Detected for another 15 minutes than headed home. When I arrived home I grabbed a magnifying glass to check the wheatie. I couldn't believe it!! It is my second 1914D wheatie, and it's in better condition than the first. I never expected that. Digging wheaties can be exciting after all. Thanks for looking.

Happy hunting to all!!

The first pic is from a short hunt on Sunday, the second is the 1914D from tonight, and the third is my first 1914D wheatie. Sunday and Monday's hunt were from the same park.

Re: I can't believe I found a second one of these

Hard to believe that each of those pennys are worth over $200. a piece. That is incredible to find $200. in the form of a penny.

One of the kellyco ads had an example of a person finding a penny worth over $37k after auction fees $41k. for a penny that someone dug out of the ground. Made of copper not gold or silver copper.

Dang nice finds for sure... That mint mark on the first 1914 D looks a little odd to me. Could it be an error mint mark, maybe struck twice??? Either way you have beaten the odds. Very good job. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
