Silver three cent piece, 1863

[70monte68]

Hi All,
Found this last weekend and was'nt sure what it was. Showed a good friend who also has been like a mentor for me with this hobbie and he was thrilled to see me find this. I had such a hard time looking for it and almost gave up glad that I did not. Oh it was 6"in the ground.
