Today I dated a Buffalo

[ModernMiner]

Not much to post, but I hit the yard of the 1804 house after work today.
The highlight of my hunt turned out to be a 1915 "D" Buffalo nickel which appears to be a semi-key date (?) in the coin book. At least it's worth more than 5 cents.
Other finds were:

*A lantern piece with a date of Nov. 2, 72' (1872) on the thumb wheel.
*A compact piece dated July 18, 1922.
*Horse & mule shoes.
*An OLD lock - It must be very old because it says "Made in USA" on it.
*A flattened copper coin (?).
*A strange flag pendant that this Yankee isn't familiar with. (Just kidding, I love the South! - don't shoot)

Like I said, not much.
Oh yeah, I did find one tick roaming on my relic pouch too.

I found a 15-D a few years ago and sold it on ebay for $15! Not too bad for the condition of the coin! Congrats on finding a nice one!

Thanks Jack. That's great news. My kids will probably use it as a nickel once I'm gone.

YOOOO Diggity Dug,

I thought you were dating that NC buckle still. LOL You had a productive day today, buddy!

I wonder what that flattened copper coin could be? That has my Colonial mind thinking again. LOL

Keep on hunting those NC sites with your pure determination! You're bound to get that LC or cut pistareen!

Thanks Kyle.
I was hoping like heck to get some detail off of that flattened coin. I think it WAS a penny at some time. It was in the same hole as the 1915 Buff.
Good luck this weekend,
Doug

Any time you can find a buffalo with a date on it,you are doing good! Nice that its a semi-key coin

 

[Merf]

Nice finds MM
That Buffalo is in good shape.

 

[ModernMiner]

Thanks everyone.
I always love the surprise of looking up a coin I just dug in the Red Book to see if it is worth much. Normally it's not, but sometimes you get lucky.
