I had about an hour to kill the other night so I went across the street to some old abandond houses. I was scanning the plug in the first hole I dug and as I went to lay my detector back down it went off about a foot from the plug. I pulled a memorial from the plug and then dug this 26 D right next to it.

That's about as close to AU as you will ever get on a dug coin. Congrats. BTW, I always thought the lady on the coin had the BEST looking legs! :smitten:

Thanks.
I should have put a pic of the back on also. It is sharp but has some black tarnish to it. This is the third silver (40 Merc and 57 Wash) I have found on this lot and all have had black streaks somewhere on them. The date was so crisp though I had to post it.

Nice SLQ :clapping: They don't always have full strikes when new and your looks close enough to be labeled Gorgeous lol That's a new grade right between AU and MS. What a sharp looking coin. Probably dropped soon after being minted. I guess that house wasn't abandoned after all - it had silver living there :cheesysmile:

Like others have said, that coin is the nicest I've seen for being in the ground! It had to have been dropped right after minting.

Congratulations! thumbsup01
