Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted or replied much in the last week but work has been unbelievably busy. I want to throw this one out there, last Saturday during a club hunt I found my first silver foreign coin, that meaning a coin not minted in the United States.

After a long day of clad and junk I finally found a cool keeper, 1880H Canada 10 Cent coin. It's in rough shape but what the heck I'll take it.

Another interesting find was a New Jersey seal button face from a two-piece button which I believe is pretty old.

Enjoy the photos and happy hunting.

Nice silver Victoria dime! That's sterling silver purity too! Higher silver content compared to other silver coins :treasurechest::thumbsup:

I think it's definitely a button, here's a picture of the back, it's missing the second piece that would have a shank.

Nice find on the old Canadian dime. I found a nice 1882 Canadian dime few years back. My favorite find to date. Nice button also.
