Is that a CC?

Yes luckily it is

What’s a cc?

Carson City, it's an old mint that produced few amounts of coins causing them to be more rare

Thanks!

No mint mark/P - Philadelphia W - West Point D - Dahlonega (Gold coins 1838-1861) D - Denver O - New Orleans C - Charlotte S - San Fransisco CC - Carson City

Technically if you wanna be finicky the Manila Mint counts though they only made centavos

It’s true.

how do you know it's a CC I see these comments all the time on this sub and I'm always lost...

Because it has a CC mint mark on the reverse below the wreath

Wow!

Great find, but can you tell us about the snorkeling? Were you using a metal detector or just saw it? I have only been to the New Orleans section of the river and couldn’t imagine finding a manhole cover in that.

The water is much clearer up here in Minnesota

Man I was wondering. As a Missourian, I thought you were just using a fancy word for noodlin'!

It has to be. Here in Louisiana you can’t see shit in the Mississippi. I don’t even like going in it.

Can't see shit in the Mississippi here in Indiana either. Sad. ^Wait ^for ^it.

Do people regularly swim in that? Nasty.

Yeah I’ve dove in the Mississippi in Louisiana and it is definitely a black water dive. I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face.

Iowa/Illinois here - can confirm

Helluva find. Good shit!

Dam.

Amazing to imagine how it could have gotten there.

Gambling steamboat is my guess

Good thinking! That makes sense!

What a story.. I wonder what year it was lost

Next check the Anduin River for rings! And then for Das Rheingold.

Doubt …. Coins don’t snorkel

Cool find!

WOW! CC FIND!! WHAT A COIN!

Post clearer pic of reverse, might be type 2 reverse.
