Ode to saran wrap!

[CoinandRelicMan]

Saran wrap where are thou? Detected a neighbors yard some the other day, evidently someone believed in eating their sandwiches outside pre-saran wrap times. Dug enough aluminum foil to fill my pouch, really hard to find any nickel type items



Got some clad and a few keys, a few older type relics. Then went and roamed around a bit got a "Slamming" hit out in the field. Dug a while and some round clod popped out. Hmm it is some kind of coin like thing pretty big, maybe a token? Went to wash it and saw I had some cereal prize coin of some sort.



I took one of those scrub pads to it. Seems to be made of brass looks more "Golden" now he-he. Maybe will deposit it in the kiddies sand-box at the public park after some more sanding!


Tanks for looking at my Clunka-Junka!

Nice finds CoinandRelicMan!

Maybe its a counterfeit $20 coin?

Kellogg & Co started producing the Double eagle in 1854 in San Fran.I don't think its the Cereral company lol
Still a neat find!

1854 $20 Kellogg & Co., San Francisco, Double Eagle Gold Coin | Collectors Weekly

Now look at question 17 at the bottom does it look like the image. I am thinking it is either brass or copper made.

Don't get your hopes up at some of them prices...LOL


It sure would have been cool to find one of those.

Neat Finds, I can gold plate that before you plant it

On the back side middle top area it says "COPY" in small inscription.

National Collectors Mint made Kellogg $20 replicas, they no longer sell them, just the 1849 US version.
they were made into money clips and keychains.
Currently on their site you can purchase a pound of 'copper pennies' (pre '83 US cents, listed under 'special sale items')
for $24.99, 50% off the regular $49 price plus $6 shipping. This would be 146 Cents.
The ad states you might even find a 'Highly coveted Wheat Cent' in your $1.46.
A somewhat better deal is their 'Pound of Silver Coins' for only $899 (plus $30 shipping),
This will get you about $250 spot of junk US silvers.
The company amazes me with the prices asked for many of their offerings,
almost $250 for a pair of 'El Cazador' Half Reals ?? Puh-leese

Their replicas are the best buys on the site.

Yours is a great recovery in my book Congrats !!

I buy all the colonial replicas I can find at flea markets, rather than tot lots they go around the old sites I frequent.
I've found a few of my own plants, you never know what will come out next

 

[wheatfinder13]

I really like that coin, way to go!

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

Thanks guys! Never expected that people would think that some copy is a good find, still it is far better than half an aluminum can in my book!

I was kidding about the cereal box because of the Kellogs Co. thing on the headband, but it certainly is not GOLD tho =)

 

[pepperj]

Cool find still, and plated it would be a nasty plant.
