Not as ugly as one of my pocket pieces. The Peace Dollar I found at a bank a few years ago. I figure it was turned in after someone's Grandpa...
Be patient, you'll find other Canadian silver in your travels. A 90% Roosevelt will sound different from an 80% or 50% Canadian. It's kind of...
Nice find! I usually can discern the % difference by the sound it makes. Take a known 80% dime and drop it to hear it ring. A 50% dime has a...
I'm attempting to fill a buffalo nickel folder from circulation/CRH finds. Many of the earlier date/mintmark nickels are the result of...

I carry a Peace dollar so slick, i can only see the outline of the head on the obverse and almost none of the reverse! It has brought me mixed...
Sampson, May you have continued good luck and most importantly, fun. But, two words come to mind when i read your post.....ROAD TRIP! Just...

Bobbeth- I've noticed the different reeding on Franklins and Walkers vs Kennedys. I've even noticed it on the dimes i've found. It seems that...
