:omg: :omg: :wow: I went over to see my daughter that lives in a small town 12 mi. from me,and I seen they had torn down a two story house next door to the church and they were in the process of tareing up the sidewalk to make a parking lot for the church,so I stoped and asked if I could hunt the area,they called the mayor and said he would be over in a little bit,while waiting for him,I was just looking around,I saw a silver dime laying on top of the ground and I picked it up started to look at it and the mayor drove up,I asked him if I could hunt and he said one of the church members said something about doing that,he said he would give him first chance and would call me later to let me know if I can hunt it. I thanked him and went on down to my daughters went to the sink and cleaned the dirt off it and that is when I almost had a heart atack!! :omg: :omg: :wow:

Very nice coin. :wow: I'd get it authenticated since there are quite a few fakes around of that particular coin. But looking at your pictures I'd guess it's real. Congratulations
