Like Hoser I really did not find anything earth shattering this year. :-\ I did have a very good year for finds (for me at least) and I think my favorite coin was a 1910 Canada Dime. Though it is not really special it was a first for me! It was part of my dime hat-trick on my first hunt with the Etrac.

 

[hoser]

OK Del you asked for it. Here is my 1933 50$ gol.......ugh never mind Really the one find that I liked the most was my 1883 IH. That is the first pre 1900 coin I have found. Sure hope it ain't the last. :twirlingeyes:

The posted coins are some very beautiful finds made this year. thumbsup01

It's hard to say which find this year is my best, but I do like this one, a 1892-S Barber dime. It has a fairly low mintage of 990,710.

that is a great semi-key first year barber for sure Angel , superb coin to have in any collection huge congrats .

My best find to me was back in March. My best because It's my oldest. I broke the 1900 barrier in Feb. with an IH penny. But I found this 1893 V Nickel in March. It's not in the best of shape. I had to get it wet for it to even show any detail to the camera. It was indeed a thrill digging something that old.

Thanks for looking.

OK, Ok... I give in. The year is ALMOST over and I had a tough time deciding on which item was the best. It was a toss up between the Massachusetts Cent I use as my avatar, and a colonial (or post colonial) wax seal I really like. I picked the seal since I would probably never find one this detailed again. I have a better chance of finding another Mass coin than a seal this nice. But Dan, next time make it show your best 5 finds lol.

George that is truely a unique find and after seeing it up close the detail that is cut into the glass is amazing :shocked04:stretcher: . yes sorry about only posting your best but i was curious to see that one item that everyone picked to be their best.

Not in the best of shape, but a really nice find. I too love to find coins that break the 1900 barrier, as rare as they are.... it is the feeling of digging up something that was dropped so long ago, and knowing you were the next person to handle it.
