. I found this coin metal detecting and trying to find out if it’s worth anything? It’s my oldest coin to date so was pretty excited about the find. Thanks...

Where did you find it ? It's in really nice condition for a dug coin . Congratulations ! I would say just the fact it's dug brings it down almost 50% . That's not counting the hole and rim damage . Either way it would categorize probably a VF Details. I'm just surprised it's not in worse condition as far as details .
In conclusion : Check Ebay ( past sales ) for a similar coin if you can find one .

Thank you very much for the feed back. I actually found it in a field behind an old school. I searched and searched for anything else for that time period and came up empty. Must of just been a lucky find!!

I do not see a hole in this coin…

If you're interested, research the "Die Marriage" of this coin… What you're looking for is the LM-8

Nice find, but initial commentary helps us on posts like this.

Nope, my goofy butt didn't see your message under the images LOL.

I prefer people to comment or ask a question when they post an image and I just didn't see it under the images. Sorry.
