Worn 20 Cent piece

[MigColG]

I got out on my land this morning and detected before the Christmas festivities begin. Rewarded with a nice, but worn 1875 Twenty Cent piece.

Dude! That’s awesome. That’s a bucket lister for me right there! And on your own ground!? Killer!!!

Thats a down right special find! They were only produced for four years and not many made in any of the years. Nice save, for sure. HH Jim tn

Heck, I didn't even know they made a twenty cent piece, looked it up in my coin book and like Jim said, they only made that coin from 1875-1878.
The plain mint mark was the rarest with only 36,910 minted.
I can't remember anybody ever posting a twenty cent piece before, that's definitely a trophy find.

One word comes to mind

250 bucks in good condition! Merry xmas to you!

Never found one and didn't even know they existed!

That's any coin hunter's dream find! Congratulations on a real needle in a haystack!

Coin wasn't dug you bought it off eBay on December 17th

That is really sweet. Industry told my wife this morning that is one coin I want to find.

 

[thebigd81]

Hate calling out liars but... Clear pics are from an eBay auction... I left out a clear similarity to the left of the date

 

[CT Todd]

I was just about to call him out too. This guys a liar. This is a eBay purchase. This guy needs to be removed from the forum.

 

[thebigd81]

Awesome GateKeeper ty! I didn't want to call this fella out but felt the need to because I love this hobby and HATE fakers!

 

[GateKeeper]

I would hope that a new member didnt do such a deed. I'll allow him to tell his side of the story.

 

[thebigd81]

I doubt he'll say a word these fakers usually tuck their tails and run when they get busted

Wow would have been a nice find !

I am disappointed in him. Most detectorist are honest and love the actual finding of an old coin. Shame on him.
