Great, wish I had your luck. I was in Air Force in South Dakota, big thing back then, was digging for dinosaurs bones, Dang, wish back then, what I know now.

Thanks Longhair! That's crazy that your first coin of the year was a 2 cent piece!

What's just as crazy is that my second find was an 1854 Bank of Upper Canada One Penny Bank Token, found at the same site.

Beautiful coin. Congrats!

Congratulations on the excellent find! Two cent pieces are some of my favorite coins for several reasons... they're a unique currency, they have a nice design, and they were the first of American coinage to bear the motto, "In God We Trust." Yours cleaned up nicely, too! Thanks for sharing your finds with us.

A most excellent find for sure. One we all would love to get. Congrats.

Beautiful coin. Congrats!

Thanks M40! Kind of wish the crusty green stuff wasn't on it bur overall it came out pretty nice.

Thanks hoser! It still blows my mind that I was able to dig one up in Northern North Dakota.

Heck of a find and a cool date too. I’ve only ever been lucky enough to find one and it took me 4 years to find it. Nothing better than seeing something come out of the hole that you never expected. Congratulations and she’s a beauty

Then perhaps there's hope for me yet....

Thanks CT! I've been detecting since 2014 yet I never expected to find one. We just don't get stuff much older than 1900 around here as it was one of the last places settled.

Thanks gis! I've never really made a detecting bucketlist but if I had a 2 cent piece wouldn't have been on it as I would never have imagined I'd dig one.
