I metal detected my own property and had a sweet find! A 1987 penny coated with dirt and buildup from being buried underground for years! Buried an inch down. That’s a great find.

[@jaxonwhitaker4441]

Not bad, I was metal detecting at a camp and found a 1965 Dime which was not to bad either

[@martinphilip8998]

@@jaxonwhitaker4441 I found 22¢ in the Coinstar this week! good to Very Good both dimes are listed at 10¢ and I’m still waiting for PCSG to grade and slab the pennies.

[@jimmyd4153]

A 1987 penny you think is a great find? Are you sure you meant 1987 not 1887?..A 1987 penny coin wise has no value other then 1 cent in a bubble gum machine. I also detect. I found a 1929 silver dollar 13 inches under ground using a Minelabs Excalibur 11 which is usually used for diving in deep water. I used the detector on an old abandoned hotel property in NewYork. The hotel named Nevele country club was open since 1901.

[@JayCail]

@@jimmyd4153 That's what I said! 1987 penny? LOL. Also by the way, there were no 1929 Silver dollars. They were minted from 1921-1928 then 1934 and 1935 was the last year for Peace dollars.

[@scottfirman]

I once had an opportunity to hunt an old zoo in Colorado and missed out on a beautiful Barber quarter. Another hunter went behind me and found it. A week later, Back in Michigan I found that exact same date coin in even better condition down town. Our ground is still frozen solid 5 inches down. Talk about messed up signals in frozen ground! That was amazing! I found 1864 coins in an area that should have never been. The railroad never went through the area till 1890's. Turned out it was a stage coach stop.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Nice finds guys. Wish I knew all the lingo, minted, barber, seeded etc. Love seeing old things being dug up. Andy UK

[@jonpatterson7211]

Andy, I don't profess to be an expert, but when they say "minted", they're referring to the mint mark on the coin. There are several places around the nation where coins are struck, or as we say here, minted. Coins will bear a mark from which ever mint they were struck. The most desirable are the "O" (New Orleans) and the "CC" (Carson City, Nevada) because those mints no longer exist. If a coin bears no mint mark, it was struck in Philadelphia. When they refer to a seeded(they're actually saying "seated") coin, they're talking about the dimes and half dimes which were silver coins minted during the 1800's and so called because the figure on the obverse is sitting. Again, I'm no authority on the subject and I'm sure I left out some info but I hope that helps clear a thing or two up. I spent some years in your fair country, and my best find was a copper farthing from the 1600's that I found in the shingle at Dunwich Beach in Suffolk. Happy hunting and all the best.

[@debo4706]

I know that you need to clean the coins but aren't you scratching the coin with the grit of the dirt. the first rule of coin collecting is not to clean the coins with abrasive.

[@TT-hi1qv]

I always hate when people rub the abrasive dirt on a things they find! Drives me nuts lol

[@mbellizia75]

Drives me just as crazy watching them play with the water bottle. To each their own..lol.

[@martymartin8645]

We are not anal about field checking. We don’t sell our finds. We dig in the dirt

[@jglow22]

@@martymartin8645 Yeah, I may kick myself in the butt one day if I come across a rare coin valued at $1milliion, but destroyed it completely by using Tarnex on so it would look brand spanking NEW again! Lol. I think of it this way, it's not like we're drilling holes through it like THEY did back in their day so not to lose them, and still lost them anythow. Besides, if Tarnex hurt the oxidation, I'll just shove it in a planter outside and let it oxidize on it's own once again! No big deal!

What is really cool is that the dime was found very near the Indian Head cent (probably lost together}. The cent is 1906 and in decent shape, the dime is 1877 and very worn. So, the dime, in only 30-35 years of circulation, got a lot of use. A work horse of monetary transactions when a dime could buy a lot back then.

[@Olde-Raleigh-Shoppe-NC]

@@cimeverywhere7224 there are no repunched mintmark varieties for the 1982 P Quarter. Off center strike should not cause an extra letter, could just be die deterioration, that makes it look like a separate letter.
