    Best Coin of the Month / Point Value: 10

    So lucky!

    My wife and I were going to the grocery store this morning. She says we'll leave in about 20 min. I say, "okay, I'll be outside." Not 100 yards for my front door I dig a scratchy 60s -70s signal. I assumed it was another shell or bullet. It turned out to be an 1853 trime I thought it was a 58 but then I cleaned it.
    Third trime within a year. Thanks for looking!

    Did you buy a lottery ticket at the grocery store while you were there? I think I would have!

    Drew , I feel there's no place safe for these little coins to hide from you anymore.

    maybe give lessons or teach CTTodd how to sneak up and capture these elusive coins .

    congrats yet again on another trime.

    I must have missed this post this weekend; I was too busy failing. hahah. Awesome find. You don't even have to leave home to MD. My house is only 1959 so I don't bother. I didn't realize how small they are until Dan showed me one.
