Thunder,lightning,1861 Seated Liberty with a hole in it.

[Roger Mn.]

I went to Oronoco,Minn. today to a park on the hill. It was all weeds and brush when i was a child and now they mow it and a lot of trees.
I think i was there only five minutes when i found it. Cofee in one hand the detector in the other.
As soon as i found it at five inches down next to a tree i thought i should leave because it usually happens i find something good and nothing the rest of the day. I was right,nothing else.
I stayed four hours.The sun was shining and it started to rain. I ran a quarter mile to the out house. It didn't last long and i was back out. About a half hour later it started to thunder and lightning so i left because i didn't want to be tosted.
It's a 1861 seated liberty quarter with a hole in it.
It has S.C.F. stamped on the left side and 1868 stamped on the right.
I thought i might go to the cemetary some day to see if i could match a name with S.C.F. on one of the tombstones.
But first maybe you great bunch of detectorist could tell me what i might have here.
Im just thrilled to have found this. Happy hunting to you all. Roger

My bet is (cool find by the way) that the coin date is "date of birth" and second date is "1st Communion." The other is the person's initials.

I like your idea of hitting cemeterys to check headstones. You may be able to do that online easier.

I think you could be right. Thanks

Wow....Too bad about the hole but maybe the inscription has some significance. Congrats. That thing would grade really high if it wasn't damaged.

I'd rather find a holed and stamped coin any day. They're much more interesting. 8)

Wonderful find, dodges!

Very very nice coin indeed. Good luck with the initial I.D. 8)
