    Knocking On Doors

    I did some knocking on doors yesterday. Actually not a lot of knocking. No body home at first two homes but the third home was a winner. The home owner was more than happy to allow me access. The only thing the owner requested is that if I found anything that rivaled the lottery that we share the bounty. There was no life changing finds so I got to keep all the treasure.

    The 1932 Canadian Cent is my oldest coin from the neighbors to the north.

    I believe the ring is not so old. If it had not sounded so good I would have believed it was an older pull tab. It was a VDI of 33 on my V3i.

    Looks like your door knocking paid off!

    I really like the Canadian cents from that era. They aren't a common find here in Illinois.

    Congrats on the two silver coins as well!
