    Breaking 50 Silver Coins at the Fairgrounds

    Its done! I finally broke the 50 silver coins mark today!
    You all won't have to listen to me whine about not making it 50 coins. lol
    Started the day with a 1953 Rosie, & then a 1940 Merc. Along with 6 wheaties, 2 more tokens and a small pin of some sort (the pin needs a little attention with mineral oil) i'll post it up again once clean.
    I started a new area where I was getting all the wheaties, so I'll be heading back there next as I am pretty sure there is silver sleeping somewhere close by.

    Congrats Scott! That is an excellent achievement by any measurement. The Rosie was your 50th, no? I hope you are treating it well. lol

    You should be able to pick up some more silver from that new location.

    Yeh, my 50th coin was the Rosie, but hey, I'll take it.. I'm pretty sure there is plenty more silver at the fairgrounds.. these two were by Iron, which is why I missed them the first time around
