Good point Pinenut. Haven't exactly gotten all my wires uncrossed yet from that long trip. Still, it is possible that the coin came to America a couple decades after being minted.
Oh yeah... You never know what you'll dig up.
I've got a bunch of Nazi era and older German coins here (my mom's from Bavaria), and who knows where they'll go when I'm gone..
Maybe I'll bury 'em just for fun. ^_^
BTW - I think quite a few Germans were coming to the States early last century; it probably came here with one.
Gee Jeff, you say that as though you know that area personally. View attachment 1380739
