I better get some better reading glasses to see that mark..lol

I have all 3 war pennies that were made of steel. Have a lot of older coins all found with my metal detector, Indian head pennies, standing liberty quarters, barber dimes, V nickels, half dollars, Mercury dimes.

Canada put out a V nickel for victory at the end of the war.
It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the anniversary of D-day landing so many years ago.

I got this buffalo nickel today. Date is worn off.

Got this nice 1939 ....at Dunkin Donuts this afternoon .....they say it’s worth .50 ...also first year for this style nickel.

I metal detect as one of other hobbies, these 2 barber dimes are my best finds so far. 1911 must have dropped very very early in its life

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes....that is in fine shape !

Very nice JD!

That would be a neat one to have!!

Yeah, Northof50, its hard to believe hitting those beaches was 75 years ago. A kid that was a newbie 18-year old would be 93 now. Not too many of those guys left. I'm sure that also almost nobody knows (because why teach that in history books!) that the Canadians were heavily involved in D-Day (14,000 + troops at Juno Beach plus paratroopers) and as the battle of Normandy evolved you're country fielded an entire army, the First Canadian Army. A lot of blood born north of the 49th parallel was spilled in that war...

Here’s the back of that 1939

What do you think ?

i got a 1943 steel penny when i paid for gas the other day. They also had some old $2 bills and 3 silver dollars i was able to get also. It was a good day to put gas in the old truck.

Odds are those silver dollars aren’t silver and if they are, well then, Jackpot!

one 1959 and 2 1964

Horse Creek Fur, do you have any books on coin collection?

A couple of years ago I stopped at a local Burger King for lunch. When the teenage kid at the cash register was making my change, he had to open a new roll of dimes. He broke open the roll, handed me a dime, and when looking at the dimes he had just opened, he said these are all Canadian dimes. The manager came over, and snatched them up. The entire $5 roll was all silver Mercury dimes from the 1950s. I did get the one the kid handed me when I paid my bill.

Nice story, BigBrownie.

I was fishing with my dad when I was about 8 years old and kept seeing something shiny about eight feet into the lake laying on the sandy bottom. My dad kept telling me it was a copenhagen lid. Curiosity got the best of me and I waded out there to find out it was a 1902 Morgan silver dollar. Still have it to this day.

Superb work!

And all this time I thought War NIckel was a race horse.

Not even a wheat penny lately.....
