Ground thawed a in places.. Very nice 1867 IH

[Chris(SoCenWI)]

Hello All,

I was able to poke my screwdriver in the ground after some recent warmer temperatures. Perhaps may have a few more days of 40s here in southern WI.

I was hoping to add to silver totals, but only found this IH.

Congratulations!! That’s a beautiful IH cent!!

Good job! Less than 10,000,00 minted and great detail. Looks like it wasn't circulated when it was lost.

That coin was brand new when it was dropped. What a great find!

Cheers,

Joe

Same weather here in Indiana. It's nice to get a few more hunts in before the end of the year. Very nice Indian Head

Nice Find Chris. You can tell that was dropped in the 1860s.
