BIG CLAD - I MEAN REALLY BIG CLAD.

Looks like someone raided grandpa's coin collect. This was found in the wood chips of a tot lot today.

It's been a long time since I've seen one of these. And the first time finding one.

Come now, let's not be hasty. Let's give the kids of today some credit.

I'm figuring an ole, senile prone grandpa who was looking at his lucky piece while watching the grandkids and just missed his pocket with his feeble fingers. LOL

Point well taken. Afterall, it was a clad dollar, not a Silver Eagle.

Now that is insane. Who would leave such a large coin behind? People never cease to amaze me.

True

Still even though the value isn't very much, pulling a large coin out of the ground is thrilling.

The Thrill alone, is worth way more than a dollar. That's for sure. I've only pulled a few large coins. A Dollar Casino Token, 1864 Half, a clad half. So few and far between at this point. I just love big coins. Big silver, even more so.
