I don't post many finds but the condition of this coin right out of the ground was STUNNING! If it had an NCGS tag with it I would not have been surprised,by FAR the nicest coin of thousands I've dug. This specific park has some soil that totally TOASTS old coppers,the two LCs from there I have are pretty rough,but readable. A 3 cent nickel also popped out of there but was in really good shape,so...go figure. That's what I love about silver coins,they are for the most part unaffected by environmental conditions. Anyway,thanks for looking and good luck out there!

Absolutely incredible find! I can't recall ever seeing one that white before- looks like it was dropped right after someone got it from the bank. Congrats!

99% of times I look at a post claiming a coin is in "amazing condition" or "mint", it not. Well that's not the case with yours and you dug a fabulous coin.

I dug an 1897 barber dime once with mint luster. I wouldn't have believed it came from the ground unless I unearthed it myself. Now I dug over 250 silver coins last year so the chances of a high grade coin is according to my finds is 0.4%.

GREAT FIND!!!
