149 Year-old Coin

You just never know what's going to come out of the ground! I found this this morning while hunting with the Equinox 800 and the Coiltek 10x5 in an area thick with pull tabs and bottle caps along the edge of a sidewalk and soccer field. This is the same Florida park that gave up the two gold rings last weekend. This time it was a bunch of junk, some modern trash, and an anomaly!

Nice coin! You're killing it with the 10x5. 👍

Odd that it's silver tho, it's supposed to be copper. There's an 1876 silver one selling on eBay for $1400... 🤔 How much does it weigh?

Might be copper nickel. Nice coin in great shape!

Must be a Cu/Ni composition, the mint weight is 3.25g 👍 your park was kind to it. 😀

Great find and glad it now see's the light of day again.

What was the ID on it if you remember.

Good luck on your next outing.
