Big hunk of Silver

[Eurekaman]

Hi All
Found this nice big Yankee coin a number
Of months ago and boy did she scream
My Earphones off
Couldn't believe my eyes when it hit the
Sunlight after all those years lol
1897 Silver Dollar
What are the chances of finding
One of those in Aus?
Cheers
EM

Love it, you just never know what's about to come out of the ground. I guess that's why we are hooked.

Great find, it looks like it has passed through a few sets of hands as well.

It certainly does, extremely well worn

Unfortunately it knocks the $2400 uncirculated condition price down to a slab of cheap beer but finding one would be a priceless experience, well done.

Loves looking at it

Nice find Eurekaman, is that as big as an Aussie silver crown, would have been a screamer alright.

I put it next to my crown and it not quite
As big
Crowns slightly heavier

Well done EM.
A silver dollar is a great find and would be such in the US as well.

No I purchased the crown it's a 1937
There were only two made a 37 and 38
The 38s are limited numbers
And more sought after??
I only know of one person who found
A 37 in the ground and it was at the
Edge of a swamp
