	20 CENT PIECE FOUND IN A PLOWED FIELD « on: January 23, 2009, 03:11:53 PM »

Several year ago, my friend and I were detecting in a plowed field, here in the Midwest, that had been a fairground which closed in 1910. I got a loud signal from a clod of dirt on top of the ground and broke it open. I thought I'd found a seated liberty quarter but, after turning it over, realized that it was an 1875s 20 cent piece. In all of the years that I've detected, I have never seen a 20c piece. It is in great condition. :

This is a very unique find congratulations! I had thought it to be a liberty quarter at first sight, too.

Regards and thanks for showing it to us,

Christian

Wow - I looked them up and read that only 12-20 are thought to exist. Interesting short-lived history.

Congrats on a unique find...................now I want one, damnit.

Hello . One of the best finds I have seen . Congratulations . Go back there again !!! I see the same coin on ebay today for $119. dollars . That price seems way to cheap , if it were mine I would not sell it , I would hang on to it !!! Thank-You for posting !!!
