Wow- beauty!

Lots of errors in that series, too. May be worthwhile doing some research, even though its worth a bit more than face value these days.... ;)
 

Awesome find. That would've made my day....no my week. WTG
 

Has to be in good shape being inside that compact.

If you could date the compact, maybe you could judge when the coin went in.

Can you post a pick of the coin only?

Nice find

I am glad some one has better luck than I have. I found a compact just like yours and I had nothing in mine. Congrats

Double your pleasure!! Awesome find, DD

That's a sweet surprise. Congratulations

It's nice just to find an old compact, the little treasure inside is truly icing on the cake.

Happy Hunting

Nice find in a find.

I got a buffalo nickel in my last compact.

I've found about a half a dozen and the last one was the first with something in it.

I've found change purses with nothing on several occasions. I'm waiting on the big one.

Nice finds...

I've dug eight or ten and still haven't found a coin, but that doesn't mean the next one will give me a good one!!
 

Hey Dixie,
That is one sweet find. I'll bet some kid buried that just so you would find it in the future. ??? ::) :o ;D
That is so cool to have a bonus inside that little compact.
Way to go!
 

Wow, what a great find and a great find. I've found a bunch of those darn compacts and all I've ever found in them are broken mirrors and some rouge. What a bummer, guess I'll just have to keep looking.

Beautiful! I've dug at least a half dozen, like several others here, and didn't find a surprise inside. Worse, you get a nice half dollar signal and it's only a compact >:( Maybe the next one!
