Posted Aug 03, 2007, 06:08:53 pm

Unbelievable that is the first thing that came to mind when I found out my field has been mowed...I have been waiting for this moment for months...Driving by every day!!! Well today I got the call...It has been MOWED!!!! No way I said.....Yes way dude....I am on my way!!! And that is how it all started. I met my buddy John at the field and we decided to work around the area we parked. I usually park 100 feet further up the road so I had never hit this area....My first signal.....And what a signal........Now anyone who uses a Whites XLT knows if you get a +89 signal that does not waiver....You dig very carefully....I took my time pinpointing this target....5" deep....Well After getting down 5 inches I was still hitting a strong+89......Oh boy....I am telling you people....I had goosebumps....I still do....But there was a problem.....My target was not in the center of the hole like my trusty Whites XLT told me....Nor was it 5"s deep...It was on the side of the hole...at a HALF inch!!!! OMG I scratched it.....Poor John....He must have thought I was insane...I was running across the field on a dead run.....Screaming punch me in the face...I ruined it....What he was thinking......Until I opened my hand.... And there it was.............OMG A 1795 FLOWING HAIR HALF DOLLAR!!!! Well let me tell you....I am not sure IF I scratched her or if she was hit by the plow...All I know is she was hit....A HEART BREAKING thing...I almost puked on the spot...I hope this does kill the value....I also found this button...It has a girl scout type symbol with GS on the top an some type of bird in the symbol....And this worn big time...coppa. My buddy found a 1787 NJ copper in very nice shape....I would tell you more but I really want to post this....I must go puke now...sigh... Grin

 silver,the new scratch looks really shiny.

Congrats on a trully excellent find! The front scratches look quite old, on the reverse center bottom it looks like it got clipped by a digger but you know it is what it is, puke if you want I would but it takes nothing away from making such a great find. How many of these dollars have been dug in the last 7 years? This is the first I have ever seen posted!

I just did some research on this coin....I think it is a half dollar. I compared it to my silver dollar and it is a little smaller but a little bigger than a half dollar. On the rim it reads...FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR....I feel silly now...lol. O well I guess it is a Half dollar....Sigh

WOW!  I can imagine your excitement when you saw what you had found.  Anyway you look at it, it is a beautiful find.  Keep on that site no telling what else is lurking underground.  Thanks for sharing the photo.  Wonder if the Girl Scout button's bird might be a Blue Bird.  I'm not sure if the Blue Birds and Girl Scout organizations were ever connected or had a relationship to each other though.

     Those blemishes will diminish the value of the coin a great deal, but it is an incredible find nonetheless.  I got to hold a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar a few months ago (it led to me getting the silver farm) and it had a gouge that cut its price from $2000-3000 to $500.  The dollar is worth a lot more than the half.  Great find!

A FIND OF A LIFETIME - SCRATCH OR NO SCRATCH! A COIN LIKE THAT IS ON ALL OF OUR WISH (DREAM) LIST! INCREDIBLE! CERTAINLY SHOULD MAKE THE BEST FINDS OF 2007 ISSUE. BY THE WAY, TO AVOID SCRATCHING ITEMS IN THE FUTURE (THOUGH I'M NOT SAYING YOU SCRATCHED THIS ONE), WHEN IN A FIELD OR THE WOODS, USE A 26" GARDEN SHOVEL AND YOU CAN CUT A REAL WIDE PLUG TO BE SURE YOUR NOT NEAR THE TARGET.

I got it...Thanks...

Thank all of you for your replies. This was my most memorable day ever with a detector in my hand. This is a dream find for me. I think back at the luck I have had this year with my first gold coin, Over 20 seated dimes, 1796 Liberty Cap LC, 1805 LC...My first Silver dollar......And over 150 silvers.....Life could not get any better...Until TODAY that is!!!! Man I love this hobby!!! I still have goosebumps!!!

That's an incredible find for sure!

I wonder what a person could buy with a half dollar in 1795? I'm sure when you walk onto that field next time it will be 10 times more exciting to hunt.

Just knowing, maybe there's another one.... ;)

Congratulations, Outraged!

Great job!

Reply To This Topic #41 Posted Aug 03, 2007, 08:45:35 pm

That's an incredible find for sure!

I wonder what a person could buy with a half dollar in 1795? I'm sure when you walk onto that field next time it will be 10 times more exciting to hunt.

Just knowing, maybe there's another one.... ;)

Congratulations, Outraged!

Great job!


Ridley
I can only imagine how much 50 cents from 1795 would be in todays money. This person must have been sick over losing it. I was sick from finding it....All in all.....the last 2 people to touch this coin were sick over it...lol. I will be meeting a buddy at this site at 9 AM tomorrow...I PRAY for another...lol...Yea I wish!!!

That scratch looks like it had been there. A fresh one would've been nice and shiny. Awesome find, congrats!

Congratulations, Outraged, for finding the best silver coin I have ever seen posted... Shocked  The hairs on my arms are standing just looking at that pic.  Can't imagine how you feel.  Yes, no sleep for you tonight.  Maybe you should go and camp out at that field of yours... Grin

Scratch or no scratch, that is a beauty for sure.  To think I felt bad today when I nicked the three mercs I found, because of the hard soil conditions.  Hey, if you think you scratched it or not, it happens to the best of us.  If the area around the coin had been plowed up, the scratch most likely would have happened at the time of the plowing.

Not very many people today can say they found one of those coins.  Yes, I'd say it's definitely a find of a lifetime.

The prices "DigginItUp" posted for you are for Early Dollars, not Halves.  Per PCGS, here's the prices for the Early Halves:

                                                    G     F       EF      AU      60     62     63
1795                                            750 2250 11500 25000 36000 50000 70000 115000 175000 -
1795/1795 Recut Date, 3 Leaves    2500 4500 16500 30000 45000 - - - - -
1795 Small Head                           900 3000 13500 30000 38000 57500 - - - -
1795/1795 Recut Date, 2 Leaves    1000^ 4000^ 13500 - - - - -

Congrats, again, bud.

PS - outraged, check out the pic of the rev. of a flowing hair that's being sold on ebay for around $2000. I'm looking at the "A" on STATES on your coin, and I think yours may be of this variety.  Easily recognizable as O-113 (R.3) as the word STETES was originally cut in error then recut as STATES; the serifs of the E are plainly visible behind the A.

I took the liberty of researching how much things cost in 1795. Here's a page from a guys diary from that year.
Diarypage.jpg

Here's the link to the entire diary. It's strange how they used "f" as "s".

It's fun to read. Kirk. When you read it, feel free to just insert plenty of sauntering 1795 "dudes".  Cheesy

As someone used to say,  "HOLYOHBOYSHT!"

Regardless of the (pre-existing your dig, I'd say) damaged spots, look at the detail on that coin!

You'll be flying for years on this one, every time you think of that first look.

Most outstanding!!  Plow struck or something else.  No digger, so, you can stop puking now.  I admire all northerners in the fact that there are so many more places, to hunt there, that will produce those kinds of results.  My oldest coin to date is an 1883 Indian Head in mucho fine condition.  It was a stroke of luck and will probably never be duplicated by me. 

You on the other hand have a buffet before you.  We might have to install speed bumps to slow you down.  Don't want you getting it all in one day Smiley  Good luck out there!!!!

Beautiful coin by the way.  Those are the kinds of finds that keep me motivated!!

Sweet!!  This spot may have a few "Once in a lifetime" finds and any good signal might be dug carefully.  Now on your "trusty Whites" did you recheck the hole??  It might be a "DUH" question, but what if there happened to be another "good" signal there??  I'm sure you probably did, but who knows what happens when you have a great find, then the frustration of thinking you "ric'd" it.  So maybe recheck the hole a day later if you haven't.  I know when I had my XLT, I felt it was good at pinpointing, not perfect mind you, but good!!  Anyways, thanks for sharing that pic, great find, but great shot of our past too!!

Reply To This Topic #72 Posted Aug 04, 2007, 06:26:11 am

Congrats on a super find, not too often early silver of any type is found and this one is a goodie.

Capt_ Se (Dan) is correct on the attribution,  I went to an auction site and looked at quite a few of the O-113a that sold in recent years, this one is similar in wear condition to yours, however, the slight rim damage, scratches and what looks like pit corrosion, which happens in old silver will take a great VF-35 coin down a bit on net grade I am afraid.

Quote
O-113a, R.4. A rough broken patch between the date and star 15 is diagnostic of the obverse. On the reverse, the A in STATES was cut over an E, and there are nine berries on each branch. This later die state also displays a faint die crack joining most of the letters in LIBERTY at the top, as well as rough breaks or defects between stars 12 and 14.

When I see coins like this I go to my catalogs for comparisons for ID help, condition, price.
I have found the Heritage Auction website to be very helpful in attributing coins I do not have books for for ID'ing the different varieties. LOL< the 1795 Half Dollar has 30 some varieties, and price can vary greatly based on variety, more so than condition.

Again, GREAT FIND!!!!

Kick arse find to say the least ;)

OutRaged, I have to share with everyone what you said on the phone when you called me...

"Today is the best and worst day I've had metal detecting... I found a flowing hair silver... and I spiked it! When you get here I'll be in the road... run me over with your Jeep!"

 Cheesy Grin Roll Eyes

Too funny!

I'm glad to hear that everyone seems to be on agreement that you didn't spike it Smiley

Way to go, making my 1787 New Jersey Copper pale in comparison Grin

Of course a coin like that tends to do that to any coin found the same day Cheesy

Congratulations Outraged.  That is one very stunning find.  I hope you continued success in that field.  Surely there is another find or 2 there hopefully?  Hope so.

Definitely scratched on the reverse at the bottom.  The small scrapes on the front appear old, but the back is fresh. 

Fantastic coin!  The damage makes me sick too.
