I WENT TO THE COUNTY PARK TODAY FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS AND WAS HUNTING AT THE PLAYGROUND AREAS WHERE I HAD BEEN HUNTING BEFORE BUT NEVER FINISHED MY TASK. AT THE SWINGING AREA I FOUND THE FOLLOWING:

1 MEXICAN PESO
1 DIME
5 PENNIES (1980 MIS-STRUCKED PENNY???)
1 SILVER MEDAL (EAGLE)
1 SILVER COLORED CHARM

Nice finds. The rabbit in the basket looks like plated copper, from the back view. Is it marked .925 or say sterling on it?

NO ONLY THE SILVER EAGLE HAS .925
 

Sorry, but I dont think that is an error you have there. I have seen a ton of wheats with full rims, almost no rims, worn rims, partial rims...etc. The one you need to PM is whitesid. He is an expert on errors.

Nice finds!

Congrats. I've never found an error coin (in change or in the ground). Saving all my luck for the really big one, I guess ;D.
