I was selected for Best Finds of 2011 for Western & Eastern Treasure Magazine!

a few months back I got an email from the owner of Western & Eastern Treasure Magazine and asked me if I would be interested in submitting my 1916D merc dime for their Best Finds of 2011 Issue. I said sure and submitted pictures and small write up to them. Well I didn't hear anything back, and kind of forgot about it. Well today in the mail, I got a package from them, what a shock! :icon_thumleft: :hello2:

There was 3 issues, and a certificate suitable for framing from them. I am pretty excited to actually have been chosen to be in their best finds issue!

Congrates! I live in Denver, so of course I'll never dig one!
I've dug three 1916, either P or S. Did manage a Barber 1916-D, but that is just the detecting Gods a-mocking.
Again, congratulations!
Carl

I just accidentally posted this in another W&E Finds of the Year posting, and had to redo. We just got hit with a total of three awards in a row.
Kudos, kudos, kudos!

Congratulations Terry!
I'm the guy who had the other 1916D mercury dime in W&E Treasures "Best Finds of 2011".
I was the second person who found one this year in our club. I wish he would have entered his too.
Best of luck for 2012!
