Went out Tuesday night after work for a couple of hours. I noticed they were digging up an old park in town so I decided to swing around the dirt piles. I would love to say this coin came from there, but it didn't. About 10 feet from the dirt piles by a tree I hit a bouncy signal on the CTX and I really figured it was going to be a new crappy half rusted penny. Imagine my surprise when I popped this out at about 5 inches.





Thanks for looking!

How do you know it didn’t come from there?

Thanks for the comments! I can't believe the condition this coin is in. I think it must have been dropped in the 1900s as clean as it is.

Sometimes coins are 'protected' by being under a structure - most old nickels in my area come out of the ground toasted - even Jeffersons that have only been in the ground 20 years. But I found a shield nickel in great shape, looked like a recent drop - wasn't even deep, but I was searching where an old shed had been. Must have been there a long time. Whatever it was, something protected that coin, and yours!
