:envious: 8/ You gotta be kiddin' me :shocked01: Another one
oke: :drool:
I wanna find one of those babies sooo bad I can almost taste it :drool: :daydream: :drool:
I've been curious :thinkingabout: How do these 3 centers ring up on the ET? My buddy Earl found one with his V3 and he said he would've bet money he was digging up a zinclon :dontknow: Are the E tracs about the same? Around 35 -39 Co?
Great find!
Congrats :grin:
They do make for a sweet find. :smitten: On the E-TRAC the earlier years (1851-1853) will tend to hit at about 25 (silver content is only 75%). The later years (1854-1873), with a 90% silver content, will hit at about 30 (could be slightly less or more depending on wear). Those numbers are lower than what zincolns come in at though.

Two trimes in as many days! Crazy congrats to you, outstanding! Did you go back and check your hole from the broken one to find this one? lol Great finds, that coin is on most MDers bucket list.

This one came from another part of the small park, but checking the hole where I found the first one may not be a bad idea. lol Thanks milco! thumbsup01

When I saw the title of this thread I thought you meant that you had glued the other one back together.
But no, you found another one! lol
What are the odds? Very cool, Angel! :clapping:
And hey look, we're twins on the Evangelical pin. (Almost, mine is Reformed.) I found mine a couple of months ago.
Ah! lol I was hoping for another Trime when I came across a Co of 25. What a surprise to see that it was. :happydance01:
Those pins are nearly identical! They must be from the same period. :yes:

Man them trimes are tiny lol Didn't realize that the early years are only 75% silver and 25% copper. That high a copper ratio didn't help that one stay nice :crying02: But it is a great find considering you just found one lol Nice little hunt for sure. :yes:
They sure are small. :shocked01: The earlier ones do tend to take a beating, but they are still very fun to find. :yes:

Nice!! Let me guess... you woke up this morning and said, I think I'll go out and find a better one today. lol
Congrats Angel, glad you were able to find a complete one. :clapping: |

That's fairly accurate actually. rofl I went back to that park late in the day to concentrate on those lower tones, hoping to pick up another Trime. I even told John (midas), after finding the above one, that I was going for another. rofl I didn't of course, but it was still fun trying. :yes:
mg: Unbelievable, simply unbelievable....":grin:aVacMan strikes again.
