2 Cents twice is nice...

[JW15]

Hey everyone,

I hit a mill site yesterday and got a whisper of a signal coming from under a log. I removed the log and the signal was loud and clear, flipped a plug and scored two 2 cent coins! Also scored a fried fattie IHP and a couple run of the mill (no pun intended) buckles. Here's a scanner photo of the 2centers, thanks for looking and HH!

FYI~ One of the coins has a crooked strike on the date side, unfortunately this is common and doesn't increase the value much at all.

Unless your hands were still shaking, that 1864 looks to have some doubling.
Best four cents I've seen in awhile.

yep that log probably help protect them no doubt! awesome!

 

[Metal Magnet]

yes, that looks doubled to me too.

 

[IAMZIM]

Cool! They look like they are in nice shape too!

Thanks everyone!

I looked closely at the date and I think what happened was there was a bit of petroleum still on the coin when I scanned it making the date look doubled. I might take it into my coin guy just to be sure though.
