Had a good hunt yesterday, going back this am!! Found in Colorado mining town. Pretty excited about this coin, any idea what the jokes is? It was folded up and is thin.

Nice finds, what are the other words on the metal piece? Can't quite make them out.

I can't quite read it either. The word on the right is "great". I'll get it cleaned up later when I have a chance.

Love that dime. Finding any seated silver is a huge win...but adding on a Carson City mint mark....fantastic!

Wow, that dime is in fantastic condition for a dug coin.

Thanks for the posts, my buddy had just found his first cc dime, an 1877 a while back. We have been friends for 40 plus years!

Congrats on the beautiful CC Dime !

Carson City coins are really rare this far East - I'm in Ohio.
I found my first one last season - only took me 14 years !
Mine is a 1877 CC Dime and it's also in great condition like yours - both would probably grade very fine or extra fine.

Good Hunting !

Outstanding details on that dime, congrats on a great find!

Nice going on the CC silver!!! Is it by chance a off center strike on the obverse of the dime? It sure looks it by your pic.

Does your Jokes tin say. To All Great.

Thanks for the posts, I'll have to look at that coin closer when I have time! I hope it is a misstrike. Found some good stuff yesterday and am going out again!! Someone identified the perfume tin!!!

Congrats on CC! 🥳Not an easy mint mark to dig. Yours is in much better shape than mine. Dug a pretty corroded 1877cc about a 10 months ago. A little electrolysis helped the obverse come out better but the front was starting to get iffy. Any one can clean. Not everyone knows when they reach the point of diminishing return.

Man, I live 1/2 hour from CC and have yet to find a CC coin, big congrats!

That is a beautiful CC dime! Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Love it.

I'm excited to clean it a little, but I'll put it away for now. One of my nicer coins! Never thought I would dig one, especially that old.

Appreciate it, I feel lucky!! Found another seated today, but not a cc! I was sure hoping it was when I picked it up!!
