,,,, Went back today to the old house spot I found the 4 Indians on Friday,,,,,,,Got some cool stuff,,,,found what I think is an old Cricket,,,those clicky things we had as a kid,,,,old musket ball,,,,2 wheats 1912 and a 1920,,I think,,,,1907 Indian,,,a sweet 1884 V nickel,,,,full Liberty on this one!! Then I got a nice solid 74 VDI at 5",,,and dug a super sweet 1865 2 center Grin Grin Grin scanned the hole before I got up and got another penny signal,,,,,out popped another 2 center!!! another super sweet 1866 Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Two 2s in one hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's my 3rd 2 center this year so far,,,,I think both of these 2 centers will grade EF-40,,,Extremely Fine,,$45 in the Red Book,,,,,but then again they are dug coins,,,"Environmentally Damaged" The V nickel is sweet too,,,,maybe a $35 coin,,,All in all a fun day out!!!!!!!!! Thanks for looking everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dan

Oh yeah,,,,the 65 is a doubled stamp,,,,,does anyone know it's value?????

Awesome digs Congrats!!!!! There is only one double die listed and that is an 1867, so you might just have something very special?
Now they did make about 4 1/2 times more 1865's than the 67's so who knows? I am no pro, but would say you have a special coin there! Congrats! Let us know when you find out!
