"Back to 1819 School " .. Twenty Cent Piece !!!

  Sat mourning ; 5-8-10  hunt in the field was different , usually bugs drive me out of there , but today ,50 mph wind gusts made the fields I have been hunting , a dust bowl .   I decided to go back to the school where I found some nice coppers and silver , years ago .  Built in the 1800's & used to 1959, this old school , could provide some nice coins and relics ,but it has been pounded by many hunters since the 70's. Anything found today would be deep or in areas away from the building .  Lots of new litter type junk & hot rock coal pieces , mask any deep  coins .After a bunch of those zinckers  and pull tabs , deep hit ... an Indian    1875 ! Nice patina and in fine condition .  Moved away from the building into the yard hoping to find more 125 year old lunch money.  Dug some more junk and found where more coal was dumped .. hot rock city . Moved near the woods  "see pic " ..Indian   1876 .  More wheats 1920 ,1957 ,  ,50 ,then a dateless toasted clad . Would this be a 1877 IH day    1966 dime , then a silver near where the out houses , were once standing. Seated quarter  .   Surrounding the silver, was a  bunch of rusted crap and wild rose bushes nearby..the thorns on these things can rip flesh ,which possibly kept most away . . The winds were getting crazy "40-50 mph gusts", so I  left,  . ..Later I am cleaning up the finds . The quartersize coin  and it turns out to be different     real different ..it's a twenty cent piece!!!!!  1875 S    The first I have ever seen ,let alone dug .  Beautiful , condition ..sorry I can't get a clear shot of the mintmark S ..it is located above the letter Y in Twenty .. Lesson learned ,a site is never picked cleaned and dig the faint sounds . It may be the 1877 that is still out there Thanks for stopping in ,      CMDdawg

Nice digs 

Heck, a twenty cent piece is much rarer to come a cross than any of the other coinage shown here, so it seems!  First one I've seen here, anyway.  Nice find.  I'm sure a lotof people have that on their lists.

I dont think that I have ever seen a 20 Cent posted before !    I bet that surprised you !


       Very nice !                                   VPR

I was more concerned with the  1870's Indian Heads that were popping up ..esp.  finding a 1877 .. I wrapped it up   in my pouch without even looking at the reverse , i thought it was a quarter ,shouldn,t have cleaned the crud off, huh 

that is a coin we dont see too many of, congrats !!!

I would try and get some clearer pics of it, nice find, probably VF+ I wouldnt be afraid to say it would be worth around 200$.

Nice find. I have not seen one of those dug before. Awesome day.

No problem Diamonddawg, hope to see it up on the banner, think others would too.

This US 20-cent piece is certainly worthy of the banner. Issued for only four years and two of those years were proofs-only, the historic value of this coin and its rarity to find deserve the banner.
Great find!!

  how  rare  

i dont know mintages, but i have never seen one posted and know noone whos found one! ( other than you)  

I was more concerned with the  1870's Indian Heads that were popping up ..esp.  finding a 1877 .. I threw it in my pouch without even looking at the reverse ,thought it was a quarter      

Was one of the Indian Head pennies an 1877?  Looked like the center one was an 1875, but I could be wrong.  What a stellar day/find if that was the case.

I  don't recall seing one on here before.  Very nice find!

According to Coin Facts: 
The Twenty-Cent Piece was an unusual denomination struck between 1875 and 1878.  Because the size of the coin and the design elements were  so similar to those on the Quarter Dollar, these coins caused a lot of confusion with the general public (similar to the situation that occurred over 100 years later with the Susan B. Anthony Dollar).  For this reason, Twenty Cent Pieces were struck for circulation only in 1875 and 1876.  In 1877 and 1878, they were available only as Proofs.

[/quote  ]Absolutely ,100 % similar to a quarter . The same problem holds true today .I thought it was a quarter because of it's size and never knew it was diff. until later .  Thanks ,for the info. Neil   CMD

Congrats on finds such a rare coin. By the way, have you ever hunted the woods you mentioned in your post?

Congrats on finds such a rare coin. By the way, have you ever hunted the woods you mentioned in your post?

Ah ,you caught that !  To answer your    Almost
There is an untouched play area that borders from public to private property , but it is   all grown up . The oaks in the grown up part are the same age as the cleared back of the school, "in the first and second , pics ." How many of the kids played in that area   Ruins of a very old barn out there too. What do U think   Working on finding the owner for permission for fall . Thanks for your reply ,bookfisher CMD

GREAT!

Just saw your fantastic coin.  I would have voted banner, but you were put up there already By a landslide!!!!

I would try and get permission to hunt now, not in the fall.  Some of the sharp New Jersey guys will recognize the building and hit it harder now.  The woods are often overlooked because it is not easy.  That is why that part of the property still has hidden treasures.

Good luck on finding a brother to that one.

Bob

Congrats on the banner and that nice coin.  The twenty cent piece is a dream find for me!

Holy Smokes!! You're on Fire!      Congrats

This US 20-cent piece is certainly worthy of the banner. Issued for only four years and two of those years were proofs-only, the historic value of this coin and its rarity to find deserve the banner.
Great find!!

To me, that's almost as rare as digging a gold coin.
Not that I've ever dug either.

The above posts say it all. In the past 50 years, I've only "read" of one md find to top this one!!
And that was a Pine Tree Shilling found in a SF park in the sixties. Don;t know how true the story was, but it sure got my attention. Basically what decided me to get a metal detector. (lol)

Congratulations!!! Definately BANNER!!

HH Eagle Down
