That Draped Bust must have been brand new when it was dropped! Wow, look at the detail! Amazing find!

We have discovered that you can post photos if you upload them to an image hosting site first and then share the link. I use imgbb.com.

Thanks folks. Yeah I am happy with that one.
For posting pics, I used to use a image hosting site but now I just save them as JPEGs and drag them over from my hard drive.

Nice, Jeff! Even for last week that site looks wintery still. You must have gone north a bit?

Hi Drew, I actually went 5 miles south
. But what a difference a week makes this time of year. Next weekend it will look like a jungle.

Unfortunately Dan, that pic is the best that coin will ever look. It had one of those patinas that started to go to heck right in my hand once exposed to the atmosphere after its 200+ year dirt nap. If I would have hit it with hairspray I could have saved most of that nice detail. But I had changed over to my spring backpack and didn't have the little spray bottle with me. It's still an OK copper though.

Thanks Jeff. I've always thought the DBs were one of the nicest coin designs. I can only imagine ever finding one of your west coast gold coins around here!
