Well one of my goals for 2007 was to find a silver coin from the 1800s. There is a park I've been hitting during lunch time at work. I go once every two weeks or so. In the past I found a 1886 Indian Head cent and a nice gold ring with a diamond. So yesterday I drove to the park with the intention of hitting the area that I found the IH but there was a woman throwing a ball around with a large dog. Change of plans so I drove to the opposite side of the park to where I found the gold ring. In addition to the normal clad I found two wheat pennies 1946 and 1910. One year away from the 1909 which I still have never found. Then right before I was getting ready to go back to work I find a silver dime at 3.5 inches. I could tell right away it was not a Mercury so I was thinking Rosie. I wiped a little dirt away and knew it was a Barber then when I got back to work I rinsed it the date was 1897. Ive found other copper coins from the 1800s and one from 1700s but this was my first silver coin from the 1800s. Prior to this the closest was a 1903 Barber dime. Here are the pics.
