I cant believe I found a second one of these

I can't believe I found a second one of these

Greetings everyone!
Arrived home from work this evening and decided to walk to the park for a quick hunt. Battery was low so I grabbed the other battery pack, loaded in some fresh batteries, and off I went. Wasn't much happening for the first 30 minutes. Moved to a different area and got a weak signal. Couldn't do much with pinpointing, so I did the best I could in detecting mode. Dug down about 5-6 inches and found the target. My first thought after a little wipe of the finger was that I had found a second 1914D wheatie. I thought no, it couldn't be. Detected for another 15 minutes than headed home. When I arrived home I grabbed a magnifying glass to check the wheatie. I couldn't believe it!! It is my second 1914D wheatie, and it's in better condition than the first. I never expected that. Digging wheaties can be exciting after all. Thanks for looking.

Happy hunting to all!!

Big E

The first pic is from a short hunt on Sunday, the second is the 1914D from tonight, and the third is my first 1914D wheatie. Sunday and Monday's hunt were from the same park.

As a dumb Brit, how rare is it? Mintage? Value?

In that condition, about $125. Nice find!!

OUTSTANDING, CONGRATS ON THE BANNER. I remember when my Dad found a 1914d back in the 70's that really got my brother john37115 and I in to the hobby, He sold it at a gun, knife and coin show in Oklahoma way back then for $90 and it had a nick on the edge where I hit it with my digger. I was just a kid.

I even wrote a song titled "1914 D" to honor that great memory. I posted it here on Tnet last year you may be able to search and find it if you care to take a listen.

Treasure the Hunt.

Note to self, move to Nebraska, follow Big E. Great find I guess that most of the million from that mint were spilled in your back yard, or so it seems.

Thanks for posting, posts like these are what make me dig every penny I find.

Wow! What a great coin to find...and then to find again!

I'm jealous!

Keep it up--I want to see that 1909-s VDB soon!

All the best,

Mike

Yes digging a key date/mintmark wheatie is extra exciting - but i insist that digging any wheatie is exciting !

Congratulations on two 1914 D's and BANNER ! Argentium.

Re: I can't believe I found a second one of these

I have found almost 5000 wheaties in the past two years...I've got a few of the key dates, including an '09 S and a '22 plain, but the 1914 D still eludes me.

Congrats on finding your second '14 D Wheat!
