Hi everyone!
I just got back from the coin dealer. The news is no good. Took him about 30 sec.The coin is modern replica,not even the best one. Well what can I do?! I guess just keep on beeping,and hope for better luck.
And thank you guys to given me your opinion and help.

Are we talking about the 1776?

If it took a coin dealer 30 seconds to say replica on that it was about 27 seconds too many. Glad to see you are willing to accept the truth, many either don't want to believe or never admit a coin was a fake. Good luck in finding an authentic one, it can happen!

PS.. I dug a 1777 several years ago and is one of the ugliest coins I have. Lucky enough to find one, but very unlucky for condition.

Don't feel bad, I'd have picked it up, too. No matter what, it will still make a nice addition to your collection.

Depressing news....but an interesting find nonetheless! There's a REAL one out there with your name on it! :thumbsup:

Iron Patch, that was damn funny!!! :sign10:

Well, at least your second opinion matched what everyone else thought on this forum. I think someone might have intentionally planted that coin in your hunting area. I sure would like to know the history of how it got there. ::)
