Gold Coin!

[Misuraco]

Hey guys after 6 years of swinging I finally did it! I dug it up yesterday morning at a farm in SJ. It looked like a copper that I didn’t know existed it was so incrusted. The funny thing is after I found it I put in my chest pack and swung for another 2 hours thinking there’s gotta be a gold coin here when I’m all actuality it was in my pack already. Any way thought I’d share with everybody
Looks like 1854 D

Wow awesome congrats! Wonder why its so corroded but hey gold is GOLD!

 

[Misuraco]

Thanks yea I was wondering same thing I actually thought it was a counterfeit when I realized what it was.

Amazing. Wonder if it had been in a fire?

Great find! You mentioned you thought it may be counterfeit.
How much does it weigh? A gold coin will weigh noticeably more than a copper..enough to make you stop and think twice. Over twice the weight for its size.

Had to have gone through a fire.
Maybe there was a cabin nearby that burned with valuables inside and there are more scattered?!

I would take it to a coin shop for an opinion. A lot of contemporary counterfeit coins have been made through the ages I have found my fair share of contemporary counterfeit "silver" coins in the past. Most of mine were made of pewter.
