Chain Cent Found In Garden
I bet that, that coin ended up at one of the big coin auction houses Wonder what it sold for??? Noticed that no metal detector was used , this find was a 100% by accident. Many of the big finds are found this way!............Joe

There's still hope. My oldest find was an 1895 Barber half and I can't seem to break that date barrier. I wonder what the condition was...a chain cent would be an awesome find.
