I spent two hours detecting in the woods today and ended up with 7 shotgun shells from the 1930's and two cents! Fortunately, those two cents were both good coins.
The first is a semi-key date wheatie. It's a 1932 P, which had a mintage of only 9,062,000. Without a doubt, the lowest mintage wheatie I've ever found. Unfortunately, I didn't take any "before " pics because it was so crusty I couldn't read the date. Cleaned up really nice with a hydrogen peroxide bath.
That's a good find, but my other coin beats it (in my opinion). It's a 1906 IHC, which had a mintage of 96,000,000. Not rare, but it's in really nice condition. Came out of the ground in decent shape and cleaned up great with a hydrogen peroxide bath. It has full liberty visible on the headdress and overall sharp detail. This coin must have been dropped at least 100 years ago to have so little wear.
