    Hibernia? Madison Dollar.

    I get out every morning for about 90 min but won't be able to hunt for the next week
    I think the copper is a Hibernia but not certain ...and I didn't even know they made Madison dollars
    Here is the take since Friday-

    Great to get out for an hour or so everyday. Nice finds! I found a John Adams dollar coin and was wondering what the heck it was. No idea those were minted 10 years ago.

    I think they are making dollar coins featuring every president eventually.

    Yeah, when I looked at it in the hole I thought it was one of presidential tokens from the 30s to 50s. Then I saw dollar on the back...but couldn't find a date...until google told me the date is on the coin edge. Thanks guys!

    Thanks, Dan...you're good! It really IS thin, so thin in fact I threw it in my pouch thinking it was a shankless dandy, then I rubbed it, just to see if I had my first large GW ..then I saw the bust. I was really surprised it was a copper. That nose looked like the Hibernia noses.

    Nice Drew! Wish I had an hour a day to hunt. Alas, it's not to be.
