Second old coin

[conkauctions]

Went back to the corn field where i found my first older coin, 1891 seated liberty, only got to the out skirts that time. Moved in about 2 rows and came across my second coin...

Dont see a lot of those dug that are that detail strong. Good find!

It seems the coins hang out near the top soil. Both my oldies rolled out and the dirt dropped on the first scoop. Not sure if i gave him the scar but it has been in a corn field for roughly 100 years. I am happy that is the extent of his injuries! Is it me or does this year's 8's look like they were in the die backwards or upside down? Weird!

While it is fairly unlikely that the "8" in the Date is upside down, weirder things have happened! The reason that the top of the "8" is larger than the bottom, is probably due to overpolishing in that area which widened the opening, since the details...lettering and Date digits are incuse on the Dies.

By the way, congrats on a nice find!
