That 3 cent piece is a Find ! do you realize how few of those we see dug up and posted on this site - I've seen way more 3 cent
silvers posted here, than the nickels - go figure ! ( i'll have to get the red book out and look at the mintages)

Oh I know I was pumped up! It was hitting like a gold ring but it was like the best signal of the day that I had! It's definitely one to add to my personal best!!! My 1853 half dime is still older though... And my 22 large cent still my oldest to date coin wise!!

That's a beauty Petrie. I'm still waiting for my first 3 center, but as had been said, they don't pop up too often. Looks like you got at least one nice local bottle also.

IT'S A 50'S OR 60'S COFFEE FILTER FOR AN OLD FASHIONED COFFEE POT.

 

[Petrie502]

Really, that's a weird date considering the dates on everything else we found! And the coffee filter was in a late 1800's early 1900's bottle dump!!

congrats on the 3-center, it's in great shape!

Definitely from a old perkulator coffee pot, congratulations on the coin find. A not so easy find.
