Here's the one I found Ozzie. I am only posting it as a color comparison. I am just tickled to death for ya, not trying to steal your thunder. I could not be any happier for ya!!! I keep waiting for another. Ya know, they say the odds are against us finding another.....but we don't HAVE to give in to statistics. I think the Vista Gold will report another one. Here is the pic of my dollar piece:

Go-reb, your question reminded me to do the test. I spun a barber quarter on a ceramic tile floor, then the nickel. Did it a few times to hear the difference. The silver quarter made a nice high pitch ring, whereas the modern nickel had a dull tone. When I spun the half eagle, there was that sweet high pitch ring. I'm convinced. Neat test.

I would say without a doubt it's real...copper, silver, or even gold coins can have their surfaces altered.... January 27, 2013 02:46PM |

by so many different things like fertilizers/chemicals, salt from the ocean, or most significantly heat or fire which is my bet after seeing it from Ozzie's first post...a super find! I have found quite a few "burned" coins that were really screwed up that ruined a really good silver or copper coin

It's still a beautiful coin. Looks ten times better than the early pictures, after the clean up.
I'm holding on to it. Like I said, It,s my first and maybe my last gold coin find. I'm strictly a coin hunter and It kind of represents a milestone...thousands of hours and thousands of holes dug. I have it on the table next to my easy chair and look at it now and then....makes me feel kind of good.

Thanks marcomo. I consider myself lucky. She's the type that wears her heart on her sleeve and will voice her opinion either way....very wise for her age. She is very giving too boot, always volunteering to help loved ones.
She has taught me much by example. As long as I keep her feeling loved and appreciated, all is good. Well, enough of that, back to detecting.
