Sorry for the sorry pics. Went on a metal detecting hunt on the parade grounds of a certain Army post, which will remain unnamed. Lots of dirt...
Ok, that right there ^, is funny!
Hopefully sooner but I gave him extra time before and I'll do it again, so long as I feel confident he's in control of the situation. Last time he...
The owner wrote a contract between him and I this morning, taking full responsibility for returning the coin by September latest, and insuring it...
Thank you, I'm on cloud nine right now. I don't have the understanding of coins like most of you but I'm smart enough to google "coin trackers"...
I'm friends with the owner and it wasn't him that looked at it initially. Older fellow that works for him did while he was out. I'm not sure the...
Thanks all. Oh boy, I'm not going to sleep well tonight! Bringing it back tomorrow and having them send it off, then I'll probably not sleep well...
OMG! I screwed up and cleaned it off with a toothbrush (albeit gently), gonna give it to the coin shop tomorrow to have it slabbed. Almost did it...
The big o variety? Because the "expert" at the coin shop first said it wasn't and then said he wasn't sure. I looked at the pictures in the red...
I rinsed it off but it was indeed in the ground, I'm betting for at least a century, maybe longer. Silver generally does very well underground.
Found this out dirt fishing today, hoping it's the "huge o" variety! Also found a 1903 s barber dime last week and will post picks when I can get...
So I pulled this beauty out of the ground while metal detecting today and think it is the "huge O" variety. Friend at the coin shop isn't sure....
Granted, there's not a huge market for them but there is a market. I've noticed them becoming scarce in change around here lately too. "Melt...
Replace "prepper" with "saver" and I think you get closer to the truth, certainly in my case. Where to invest savings in an [ATTACH] economy using...
Do you metal detect? I buy coins from time to time too but nothing beats finding them in the ground! All fate at that point so no fear of over...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Got lucky. Thought I was gonna get skunked today but pulled a well worn 1897 Barber Quarter before calling it quits for the...
You're welcome. Look for 1982 and prior (note: some 1982's were zinc.) pennies. Those are mostly copper and worth about two and one half cents...
Those are Zincolns, zinc with a thin copper coating. Normal for them to self-destruct over time, just another result of debasing the money supply...
Been in a dry spell till last Tuesday but finally broke out and scored some keepers with my metal detector. No key dates but the walker (1944) is...
I'm not expecting Armageddon so PM's are simply a savings (store of wealth) means for me. I'll probably sell them as needed/wanted as I grow older...
