In fact, it looks better than any coin that came out of the mint back then.

Facsimile coin. Sorry.

/////////////////// Jours 1/2 was same or better conditions, I think is about AG alloy for that issue , I just keep coin in dirt cluster ( forg. water bottle ) , and Im happy , after dry out , not have any damage .

Then why would he press a clump of earth on it like he did?

Hahaha! I wish I would've filmed him dig it. I knew people would say things like this due to its great condition. Hopefully theres more at this site, and I'll make sure to video tape any other significant finds. Seems like if you don't have "video" proof and perhaps a "live" dig, there will always be someone out there to rain on the parade.

Mr S....That is one of the most outstanding coins I have seen DUG from the Illinois dirt....
When you find something in such nice condition there will always be a naysayer or two in the room...
I HAVE no doubt you unearthed that just as you have said...
Having had the privilage to meet and hunt with you on a few occasions I can attest to your ability as an MD'er and your Honesty as a person......Not to mention your generosity....

Facsimile coin. Sorry.

Just wondering what your proof is that this was not dug?
Or that it is Fake......

I guess I was a little harsh in my assessment. It just looks so...perfect!

It is a great find, and I would definitely be proud of it!

[Theakiki]

That's amazing. I'm not too many minutes from Chi Town. I have to wonder how it got there.

Passing through Ft. Dearborn, perhaps?

 

[mikusek]

That coin looks like it was in the ground longer than an 1880 Silver Dollar I found when I was a youngster after my Dad plowed along our driveway on the farm, the dollar was shiny, no blackening, maybe being buried in black Iowa dirt was a factor. I have an 1889 that has never been in the ground and it is blackened. I think soil type and metals content has something to do with it. But not being a metalurgist, I can't really say.

 

[JOE-DIRTDIGGER]

wow what a coin, and great shape noce find

 

[DPBOB]

Mr. S

THAT IS A BANNER FIND FOR THIS AREA...

Jon told me about it on the phone I was amazed at the story..
You are your game...I hope the rest of the season is as good....

Congrats on that BANNER FIND......

 

[Lowbatts]
