Mercury Dime Makes 800

[angellionel]

I finally made the 800 silver coin mark, with a 1930 mercury dime I couldn't wait until the weekend to hit the mark, so this afternoon I worked a small common for a few hours and picked up two mercury dimes, dated 1930 and 1938. I also dug up two large cents, dated 1851 and 1853, and two Indian Head cents, dated 1904 and 1906.

The two silver beauties.



My 54th and 55th U.S. large cents of the year. They look like they will clean up nicely and show some fine details as well.



These make up my 117th and 118th Indian Head cents this year.



HH!

800!!!

That is a seriously impressive amount of silver coinage!

A great big congrats to you. A lot of patience and interpreting goes into those kinds of numbers.

I wonder what you will end up with for the year?

You are a big inspiration to me... keeps me out there digging.

Well done Angel.

Believe me guys, when the year first began I had no idea that I would have such a successful year. I did not even think that I would beat last year's total. It really has been a year to remember.

Big Congrats!! Beautiful '30 Mercury for the 800th to boot.

It seems fitting that a mercury dime would be the 800th seeing as they make the bulk of the finds.

Congratulations Angel, I'll bet you hit 1000 before the end of the year

Man, that would be great. Hopefully it will be a mild winter, allowing for some late year hunts.

Congratulations!

Can you now put your whip away.

Whoo hoo 801 Sweet Nice job on them silvers and nice coppers too!! They may clean up yet Now that the 800 monkey is off your back, I guess we are looking at 900??

I'll be shooting for 900 before the ground starts to freeze.

just amazing angel

I hadn't thought of doing that this time as I have been placing many of the better coins in 2X2s. I'll see about it though, as it sure would make for a nice photo. Thanks, Jack!

[RobW]

Ya know you focus a lot on your silver...and I don't blame you, but you have so many other impressive finds such as your old coppers that most of us would kill for...I just don't think they feel the love

Maybe you should just leave them in the ground for the rest of us to find!

I think a really good rainy-day activity for you would be to remove all 800+ silver coins from the 2X2's, pile them together haphazardly, take a photo, then return each silver coin to its correctly-labeled 2X2.

That should put you in a frame of mind similar to that which you display when stuck in traffic on the freeway with almost no gas in the tank.

I'm attracted to shiny things. I do like the coppers, actually, but I hate it when many come out with hardly any details on them. This year I have found a total of 80 coppers, 55 of them US large cents. I also love the Indian Head cents. They seem to hold up much better and tend to clean up well.

You are not helping.

Holy cow!!! I guess I didn't realize that was 800 silvers for just this year alone.. That's an amazing accomplishment.. I'm lucky to pull 20 a year.. Again Congratulations to you..

Thank you! Yeah, the silver is from this year. Last year I ended up with 447.

Thanks, Ron!
