Fisher "F" Series Forum

Jess, I dug that mid Decemberish. The area was swampy and I was totally covered in mud. At one point had to make a run for the car when a thunder snow storm came rollin in with 50 mph winds and the temperature, within minutes, plummeted 25 degrees. There is nothing really on the back side, if you look real close you can barely see the ONE CENT words, thats all. Yes lets dig it, thanks, CO

It is nice to know what year is the coin or at least get a crude approximation. I have a silver coin almost all corroded and by looking at an old book from Mexico coins, I found out that the coin was made between 1786 to 1811. Imagine the feeling of discovering that. I congratulate you for the coin, even though, as you know, there is not that much value into it, like mine. Hopefully, one day we will be able to find another old one with a readable date. My coin is also the oldest one I have in my collection and like you I don't sell anything I have. Congratulations to you again and best regards to all of you on the forum.

Thanks Terry-C, where I am in upstate NY, the soil is brutal on old large cents and other such. Silver keeps pretty well but of course if the date is gone before the coin even goes in the ground you're probably out of luck. Im gonna keep soaking, but as you can see it is just about one big hunk of conglomerate. Would love to get one someday that says 17something on it as a date.-that would be my ultimate find. Good Luck, CO

It looks like it I have found a few just like it but I can make it out.I would say yes.

Curt congrats on the drapped bust, something you would never find out here on the west coast!

HH,
