Yeah it's in poor shape but it's the oldest coin I've ever found, pretty old for the West Coast. Image the story it could tell if it could talk..!

I would hardly call that in poor shape for a pre Civil War silver coin. I'll bet somebody came all the way from France to dig up the gold and lost his silver
