Nice find! It's a shame it's scratched. It would have graded pretty nice....probably XF

Yes, the scratches bring the grade down for sure. It also has environmental damage. I have submitted a number of dug coins to NGC that were in much better condition than this one. Almost all of them came back marked "environmental damage." It is very rare to dig a coin that is gradable.

Thanks!

Congrats on the old silver=a great memory for a good many moons. :occasion14:

In the video you digging away dirt in a systematic way.
Was that because of the depth and they were out of the detecting range?
