20 CENT PIECE FOUND IN A PLOWED FIELD

Gorgeous.  I agree that plowed fields are the absolute best places to make great finds - and easy to dig too.  Things are always working their way up to the top - found a 1796 eight reales sitting right on top of the dirt - and that coin is larger than a silver dollar..

Great find for metal detecting. They made those only for a short period of time. They stopped making them due to the confusion with the seated quarter. I had to buy one for my collection. I also have a 1875 S. It is the most common one, they made over a million of them. However the odds of finding one of them metal detecting has to be very unlikely. This is the first I have heard of. My mother found a 2 cent piece 20yrs ago.
