1881H Victoria Canadian Silver Dime

After work this morning I headed out to check out a few local sites before hitting the pillow. Unfortunately, out of the five sites I scouted only two have potential for a few good finds. The other three had their grounds scraped at some point and sandy soil was brought in as fill. :overreaction: When memorial cents dated in the 90's start to appear at 8 to 9 inches deep, it is time to move on. :cheesysmile:

Anyway, one of the other sites still had some of the original old soil left, so I worked the area for about an hour before heading home. From there I dug up several early date wheat cents and a 1881-H Canadian dime. Only 950,000 were minted. :happydance01:

It looks like it is the obverse variety #2, which, while less valuable than obverse variety #1, is worth more than I spent on gas and breakfast. lol

Nice recovery, they are tiny aren't they.

Super sweet find! I love Canadian silver, I just wish I could find some. Congrats!

That is a beautiful coin . Congratulations .

Nice scoff on a key date. A date with Vickie is welcomed any time! <;)

Congrats on the 1881 Canadian dime, Angel! We don't find Canadian coins much at all here in Illinois, so to us they are an exotic find.

What a great piece of silver! :congrats:

Beautiful silver ! thumbsup01

Great looking dime. :perfect10:

very sweet find. :congrats:

Canada has produced no cents since last year, and now it has officially ceased circulating them as well. A similar move has been debated in the U.S. for more than 20 years, but a choice still stays in limbo.

Great find!!!! finding silver is always sweet:) I sure do miss digging lol

Very nice find, bet that made your day for sure! Congrats!
