All found in the south carolina lowcountry while relic hunting. The one at the top is a 1722 Rosa Americana. I appreciate the advice about sending my half dime off to be slabbed. I was kinda wondering why the guy that made me the offer didnt want me to send it in. He said as soon as I did the word about the coin would get out and he didn't want that.When he first saw it on some coin blog several people were cynical about it being real.Me I've been relic hunting for over 20 yrs and the site I found this coin in was a small horse pasture with a colonial site in it. There was also a confederate civil war camp there. The only thing late ever to come out that pasture was a few shotgun shell hulls and this site has been hunted for 20 yrs!. Everything else was old so I know my find is real. No modern anything ever came out of this place not even modern change! Trust me it's 100 % authentic but I guess I have to satisfy critics since it is so rare. My question is the 2 places to send it too I heard one you have to be a member of. Do you guys know if this is true? Can I send it in myself or do I have to get a coin dealer to do it? ANy help would be appreciated. The guy offerd me 10,000 for it upon his inspection of course . He said by the photos it was worth that to him. Here's a few of my nicer lowcountry dug coppers, I dig a nice one every now and then, hope you enjoy the pic.
