A copper coin on a ridge trail, you say? That’s the kind of thing a cautious collector spots before a whole legend is born. I’ve watched more odd coins tumble out of old mints than I can count, and every one of them has a story—sometimes a prank, sometimes a mystery. Take a close look at the edge, the mint mark, any scratches—those details tell the real tale, not the myth that trails might spin. Keep your curiosity sharp and your guard even sharper.
