I just got in the door and so excited to post this that i didn't even rinse and check the dates of the coin spill. Ive been wanting a US silver for along time and now i have some. I see standing liberties and barbers in the mix.i will post more pictures and dates later when I'm done cataloging all of them. They are mostly all quarters with some dimes and five cent pieces mixed in. I thought i wouldn't top my 26 silver Newfoundland coin find a awhile back but i did. They all were in a small area on a old driveway and the ground was packed hard. Took me two hours to dig them all out. At a quick glance they look to all be from late 1800's to late 1920's. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

Wow that's amazing! Can't wait to see better pics and get the tally of types and dates. Is that sand I see in the background?

Im working on it but may take some time. I wont keep you waiting to long though!

I got late so no individual shots but i did get them rinsed off in soapy water and got a list of all the dates. The oldest is 1894 and the newest is 1930. Also i got 10 US coins out of the mix.The whole lot is mostly in great shape...

Thanks. It would be nice to see them all shined up but I'm going to leave them as is i think. I think the best part for me is finally getting some US silver. Nailed barbers,standing liberties and a merc all in one shot! [emoji2]

I hear ya! I'd either frame the whole set or put them in a mason jar with a lid to display. Either way you have one helluva conversation piece :thumbsup:

That is nice. I wouldn't clean them too much. I usually don't see posts until they make banner, so I miss voting, but I am going to this time.

Vickies, Edwards, GeorgeV, SLQ's and Barbers in the same cache/spill is mind boggling! Your 1915 Canadian Quarter is a key date for the set, and check your 1913 Canadian dime for the broad leaves variety. Good grief that's an amazing find...you must be flyin' high!!!

Something about that high tone pitch of silver. After the first coin came up and you know you had more signals of the same it would be hard to even remember a picture. You did well. Congratulations!
