Interesting about the griffins. Not to beat a dead horse, but, one more question...what would it mean that the piece does not have any silver purity markings? Not for sale on the market? Made prior to marking regulations? aj

Unfortunately, no. They do not look like hallmarks under a jeweler's loupe. However, under the loupe, the top of the cross is Mary whereas the three other tips of the cross look like griffins, or satanic-like creatures. A little creepy! Anyway, an older relative who is Catholic stated the...

Yup, an older Catholic cross that is silver but unmarked. Any idea of age? Thanks, just curious. aj

Just picked this up at a thrift store for two dollars. I did not find it metal detecting or on the sidewalk, but I just wanted to post this neat little find. A love token was made out of a Canadian five cent piece (a fishy) and then made into a hat pin. I guess what makes this piece so special...

Thank you. ajaj

Weird. ajaj

Found this clad dime in change and the obverse really stood out. I have seen many irregularly shaped edges, but this one is really deep. Is there a name for this condition? aj

Nice! aj

Awesome piece of silver. The figure of the face doesn't look happy! aj

Thanks. I've seen a few similar ones online. aj

Wow! aj

Found in change today on the Amtrak. Had to wait for the train to slow to get a semi-decent picture. aj

Excellent find! aj

I put those in the car and use during fast food drive-throughs! aj

Thank you for this article. For some reason, it didn't pop up during my research. I guess I was focused on the Reed bottling company. aj

I've been racking my brains out trying to research the date code from this Reed Howdy soda bottle. The base states, "STARK SPGS W. MILAN, NH A 873 1". Is it 1931 or 1941? Thanks. aj

Hmm, interesting, but I'm having a tough time seeing that. Not saying you're wrong, but this ring is quite symmetrical and all of the other spoon rings I have seen and found are asymmetrical. aj

Found this really large silver ring at the bottom of a Massachusetts Lake. I have found everything underwater here from the late 18th century to present. This bugger was buried in 9 inches of muck. There is no writing on the ring other than the script C. As much as I would have liked to have...

Lincoln definitely has a vein. Keep us posted on the evaluation. aj

IMHO Only...EF Details Cleaned aj
