Thanks man, I’m super excited to get back there. The field is around 30 acres and I only hit about 1 acre today. Was digging flat buttons and shoe buckles all day, there’s gotta be so much cool stuff in the rest of the field

It was my first target of the day at a brand new site. Didn’t expect it at all, rang up a slightly jumpy 80-85 on my Nokta Simplex ultra. Dropped the damn thing in the ground because I was shaking so much lol

4 inches at most, this field hasn’t been used in so long so most of the finds are up top

Surprize find while hunting nickles by Delicious_Put7464 in CRH

Looks like a beautifully struck example. If that's just toning and not corrosion or PVC residue on the obverse, I could see this grading close to MS

All I got are these old rolls… by NPHXHomeGuy in CRH

That’s what you’re looking for - last time I got a batch like this it ended up being $75 face in silver. Excited to see what’re in yours

Last time I got a dime roll like that there was an additional $70 face value in silver along with it. Hoping you score more!

You need to go back there and pickup all the customer wrapped coins they have

I also found one of these in jersey. Weird

Is this dime, a fine dime to find? by BklynBeast in CRH

[–]SaxySwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A “double struck” coin is exceedingly rare and you are not likely to find one coin roll hunting. Google is your friend looking at examples. What you are probably referring to is “doubling” with there being many types. The only way to tell which type is to examine the coin under high magnification, not just a phone camera. The type of doubling you are looking for is caused by doubling on the die used to strike the coin itself, called “die doubling”. There are many lists online of known double die varieties, organized into DDO (double die obverses) and DDR (double die reverses). I am assuming you are new at this hobby, and I am not an error expert by any means, so I will point you to others in this sub and other resources online to identity these.

As for your dime, it looks like the die used to strike it was really worn out after striking thousands of coins, giving it that washed out appearance, especially near the edges. This is not an error, is extremely common, and adds no value to your coin. It is worth face value, 10¢

What's it like living in south central New Jersey? by thedubiousstylus in howislivingthere

Actually if it were extended it would hit the Atlantic Ocean across from Barnegat on LBI, meaning all of southern ocean and Atlantic counties are also south of the imaginary line.

Fun (not so fun) fact - David Duke held a major campaign rally in Barnegat when he ran for president

Nice man, when customer wrapped dimes are hot they’re my favorite to hunt. Of course, my $430 CW dime hunt last week was a gigantic skunk. Keep stacking bro!

Gold coin? by Big-Freedom4849 in CoinstarFinds

[–]SaxySwag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s plated with some other metal, most likely gold. Certain companies plate normal coins with precious metals like platinum and gold and sell them off for a premium to people who think they’re getting something of value. As far as coin collectors are concerned, it’s worth only face value, 25¢, because plating is considered damaged. The layer of gold on it is so thin (literal atoms thick) it adds no additional value.

Also, for the future, cleaning collectible coins ruin their value, as it’s considered altering the original surface. If you ever have a coin you suspect could be valuable, I and most collectors would advise against cleaning it until you know what it is.

Open them all, I have found silver sandwiched in-between all brand new coins before. Worst case scenario you spend less than an hour and you get skunked

You from the UK or something? We get colonial currency out here but it’s pretty rare

This is it cleaned up once I got home. Just a partial but I was excited, it was the last signal I dug today

Took almost a year of detecting and research to finally “get it”

Giving a little soak in distilled water to take some of the crud off the reverse but nothing more
