    More Silver

    Well, I was off work today and had decided that I was through MDing untill after Christmas. But the 70 degree temps would not leave me alone. Soooooo off I went. Went to a rental house that was probably built in the 40's. In a very rough area of town as can be seen by one of the finds. Found $2.10 in clad, 7 wheats, 1926, 30, 44, 44D, 2-56D and a 57. Two Rosie's. A 1951 and a 52D. I don't know how I managed to hit the 52, but I did. Am sick about it, but it is what it is. That makes # 35 & 36 since May. Thanks for looking, Merry Christmas and HH.

    That is some great hunting, Cody! I really like your photos! Don't lose too much sleep over scratching a 1952 Rosie, it's a nice silver coin but at least it wasn't an 1852 seated dime that you scratched.

    Congrats on the wheats and silver dimes!

    You can still melt the 52 with no loss of value. I just melted some quarters.... ended up with over $500. My wife found then in the till of the coffee shop 30's to the 60's. $5.50 apiece. That's a months tuition for my daughters ballet school. I kept a few good ones for the collection!

    You sure you gashed it? It looks like it might have already been there from the pic. No matter, still a nice find.
