Would post a pic but I'm up north on dial up.
Didn't think AG-3 was worth that much. Or are you just rounding to the nearest $1K?

I'm not sure why you would want to insert a pic of the one you found...into my post...and I'd rather you don't....but I'm happy for you that you found one. It's a feeling I will never forget....and I hope it gave you the same thrill it did me.
I have probably received 20 PM's or more with people offering their thoughts on the value....condition...etc.
I appreciate them doing so....but I'm not a coin collector...dealer...or grader...so to be perfectly honest....I couldn't care less what it's worth. I only care about the thrill it was to find it....and the memories it provided me and my buddies with....and how it turned me into a little kid. That's what it's all about for me.
From all I've been told by everyone...it could be AG...or G-4...or a "slider" somewhere inbetween. In either or any case ...I was told by everyone it was worth anywhere from $700 to as high as $1500 in the condition shown. Sounds like a $1000 dime to me
It's a good thing it wasn't in nicer condition
...especially since I threw it....carried it between clad quarters...and clanked it off the predator digger
Take care Chris...and congrats on the 1916 D you found.

Bryce just wanted to say congrats again on a find of a life time I'm glad we was there to see it come out of the ground
wow I'm still in shock. I had a lot of fun met some new Friends played ski pong with a rare coin geeze can you believe we did that 
.And the look on nicks face when he said dude i think its a f ing D uke: was awesome. So the next time you go road tripping dont forget your Himalayan buddy, as soon as these Berry's clear my system I'll be ready to go...HH...THE YETI.

Except I ric'd it slightly. Also had to wait to get home and get on a pair of magnifiers to verify the "D". This getting older thing. I don't know.
Heckuva a find and have only seen 2 or 3 others in the years I've been perusing the forums.

I hope we get to do it again before long...but with my crappy schedule...your crappy schedule...and my dad's health....we might be stuck begging for a wheatie at our depleted parks again
Regardless...we'll have fun though...whether we find anything or not.
Just so we leave Dan at home though. Geez...if one of us happens to find a wheatie...he's liable to turn into "Roller Derby boy" again and run us over getting to our spot
That feller' moves quick...and I mean lightnin' quick
Just kiddin' ya' Dan.
....you were a blast buddy.
We had so many goofy moments that weekend..and that's what it's all about.

I couldn't figure out why the detector makers couldn't realize this is not a young mans hobby. Most of us need reading glasses after age 40. Congrats on that once in a lifetime dime!

It;s more skill with Bryce than luck that is for sure, Like Booby Fischer said in chess, "the lucky person always wins."
