Sterling silver in fact (92.5%)

 

[mike1]

i bet you dont find many of these right i mean thats the first one for me anyway. you ever found any? are these common?

 

[ArkieBassMan]

They're fairly rare. I've seen several posted on this forum over the years, but its definitely not something you see posted everyday.

Great find! My oldest is a 1900 Canadian dime I found a while back.

1903 is the rarest (500k) in that series (1902-1910). In VG8 it might be worth $15; in F-12: $35.

Nice find Mike. Don's values are fairly accurate if it is the non "H" variety. If it is an "H" the value is about half that. The "H" variety had a mintage of 1.32 million.

 

[Mackaydon]

CRH is absolutely correct; and the "H" (if it does exist) will be found under the bow at the bottom of the reverse.

CWR's?

This coin has a fairly strong collector base. So Mike, is your coin the ‘H’ variant?? If so, you have hit a jackpot

i dont think its a H type but still its a great find i was shocked to find it. so its worth more than melt? its not in that good of shape is it what would u say its grade is?

I would say G-4, but the pics aren't great.

it has a small hole in the top of the crown that prevents me from seeing if there is a h at the bottom its not all the way through but its done enough that its black where the hole was started i know this cause i did one with a franklin.
