    Outdoing JKress!

    Well, i can't get as many silvers as he does so i had to go older than his.
    I hit that small park in town today. The one that has gotten me the 1894-s barber quarter. The 1920 SLQ and the most recent the 1919 Canadian dime.
    So then Joe finds a 1917 Canadian dime. Just to show me up! rofl

    Today i got .65 for 2 1/2 hours of hunting and a half of a detective gun.
    But one dime was an 1871-H Canadian dime! <:

    I wiped off the back and said to myself i recognize that this time it's Canadian.
    Then i wipe off the other side and say to myself that's not the guy that was on the other one. That's a woman. So i squint at the date and decided it was 18 something. My old glasses in the truck showed 1871 and looking on the internet tells me it could be an H mint mark. So i looked and sure enough it's got an H.
    Someone that was employed at whatever used to be on that site must have been Canadian. And not very careful with his money. Thank goodness.

    Yes you did!! <:
    Don't believe I have ever seen a Canadian silver that old.
    Sure, I beat yours by 2 years. You beat mine by 46. You could have at least given me just a little wiggle room to catch back up. lol
    Very nice find RaZR. She's a beauty.
