Greetings from Indiana...

[Phil]

Ran across a link to this site and decided to join up. I live in east central Indiana in a county where the total population is only a little over 20,000 and the largest town has less than 6000 people. I enjoy hunting old coins the most but I'll hunt clad if I don't have an old site handy. :grin: I'm not a marathon hunter, my sites are close so I usually only detect an hour or so at a time. Course I may go out several times a day too. lol Haven't made any great finds lately but here's a few from a couple weeks before. The dime has a CC mint mark but you have to look good.

Hi Phil! Glad you decided to join us. :yes: That is a nice grouping of your finds. The IHs down your way do come out of the ground in great shape! I love that 1874, as well as the awesome looking 1884. Enjoy the forum!!

Hey Phil, nice to have you here. Those are some nice finds. I always love old silver and Indians in that great shape are always sweet! They are one of my favorite portraits. I would love to see our modern pennies having the Indian head design.. Come on Mint....start making Indian Head Pennies oke: oke: lol Welcome aboard. :yes:

I live 2 miles from the Ohio line in Randolph Co. I'm about 30 miles east of Muncie. Too bad we are so far apart or we could get together and do a little hunting.

Welcome from Kentucky! Yes very nice finds :yes: Too bad the dime wasn't 1871 or maybe 1874 I bet you :bangahead01: or maybe :crying02: when you looked up the value...

Just found this online: The 1873-CC no arrows Seated Liberty Dime was last sold in 2004 for $891,250. lol sorry, don't mean to be a pessimist

I'm just tickled to death to dig any Carson City mint marked coins in Indiana. :grin: It would have been nice to get a key date coin though. My best coin find value wise was an 1870 IH with XF detail. At least that's what the buyer for the large coin shop down the road said. They offered to buy but I wouldn't sell. lol

Yeah I figure I'll hold onto everything I find until I need to put my boys in college lol that's 14 and 16 yrs away :cheesysmile: Got some time... (for things to appreciate too thumbsup01)

Anyway, congrats on some beautiful coins and welcome to AD!
