Must unusual coin find with my E-Trac.

[Phil]

I found this 2 cent piece at the local park today. This is my first "shot" 2 cent piece. The coin must have been pretty new when it was shot as it has excellent detail.

The park I'm hunting isn't that old but it was a fairgrounds in the later 1800's and a site for settler's meets before that.

Looks like someone had a shooting contest back in the 1800's. That does make for a nice conversation piece.
