My first holed coin, 1891 1 Franco Dominican Republic silver coin!

[treblehunter]

I went with oldjerseygirl back to our soybean fields, she found a Half Cent , looks like a braided hair cent, a wheatie and a couple flat buttons. She should be the poster girl for Garrett AT Pro!
I found a musket ball, little flat button and the holed silver. I didn't know what I found, I was sitting in the dirt licking that coin trying to figure out what I had. I had myself convinced I found my oldest silver coin I ever found. I had no service where I was and much later found out it was a uno (one Franco Dominican coin) Haaaa, scrappy told me what it was when I was driving home. Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited and very happy I found this cool coin! :-)
Here is a link to my coin,
1 Franco - Dominican Republic – Numista
They only minted 125,000 of these!

Enjoy the pix

Nice going on the silver and the copper. Both are low mintage coins from different sides of the pond.

That is a pretty cool coin find. Good enough to ID, but honestly not great, so the hole is not a big deal IMO.
We can find coins from just about anywhere, just about anywhere. That's one of the things that make this such a great hobby.

Congrats OJ Girl, half cents don't come along too often.
