My First Bust Coin!

[dano7]

Hi all! I generally do not post much. But this is my oldest U.S silver coin I have ever found. I had to share it! I have been hunting Indian artifacts in this field for years, I just got permission to metal detect it too! I dug a lot of trash at first, some old buttons. Then I got that signal, popped the plug and saw it was a silver coin, I said “please don’t let it be Spanish”. I am very happy with the shape it’s in, no plow damage! I hope it has some friends.

Beautiful find. I trust you didn't rub, but just rinsed off the dirt. I can't believe the condition of that coin. You might consider getting it slabbed at PCGS.
