have any of you ever found one of these?

Strange as it seems and believe me, it was the first time to ever see one myself. When I dug it out of the ground, I thought I had found something really interesting till I flipped it over and saw TJ starring back at me. I had to do a "google" search to find out what this thing was. ;D ;D ;D ;D Well, so much as to finding gold, silver :'( :'( maybe next time :D

;) RR

Yeah. There's one with a buffalo on the back that gave me a brief rush . . . though it's facing the wrong way. ;) I guess it's good they're making the coins interesting. I still prefer the "pretty Liberty" coins of the past. My Father used to still gripe about FDR's fat head having replaced the "Freedom of Thought" Liberty (it's not Mercury, in fact) on the dime well into the 60's. :D

Someone must have been mad or constipated when they designed the Susan B. Dollar. She looks like a mean 'ol buzzard.
