'Superb' Wheat recoverd

Every once in a while a wheat cent in 'Superb' condition will turn up. It looks even better in your hand than the photo which really doesn't do it justice, the rim feels sharp to the touch even.

The clad take was 9 Quarters, 16 dimes, 1 nickel, 19 copper cents(1 was wheat) and 15 zinc cents. The best single dig was 3 quarters, 1 nickel, 1 dime and 3 cents. Hope you enjoyed the 'Superb' viewing :hello:

That came out of the ground? Must have been a recent drop. Nice wheat!

Hi Old Dude was not deeper than three inches and was in the brown sugar sand, it is the least corrosive type of soil out here. If it can even be called soil. As sharp as the details are along with the feel of the rim, its only circulated a little. My guess is it was dropped late 50s most likely.
