1923 Salt Water Peace Dollar with the Nox

[Echoplex]

Today I went down to the salt water to a spot I have been working for the past couple months. Nearly every trip has yielded silver, often in multiples. It was just a few weeks ago that Washingtonian and I were saying there must be silver dollars out there. I had already found two walker halves and dozens of silver dimes and quarters. A week later Washingtonian found his first silver dollar on this beach. An 1890-O Morgan. Today would be my turn. After gridding an area that Washingtonian and I had left off on, I got a bangin' 38/40 on the Equinox. Cautiously optimistic, I dug a wider hole than usual and caught the glimpse of the oxidized brown rim. My first silver dollar! Though the salt water has not been kind to her, I have come to appreciate these salt water silvers. I'm still the first person to touch it since it was dropped, likely nearly 100 years ago. That never gets old. I was able to clean some of the thick silver oxide off to obtain a date. 1923. She's nowhere near as pretty as a dirt-find, but I am just as happy. I finally did it. Happy hunting and thanks for reading!

It's an old rocky shore that hasn't been used in a long time.

The drakes at “Silver Beach” had been so preoccupied with the bathing beauties they couldn’t keep up with all their coins! I bet a dollar bought a lot in 1923.

Hey man, I think he was just being polite in responding to your inquiry. I doubt he's concerned with you having the information but there are thousands of people that read this forum. No need for him to give up many hours of hard earned research only for someone else to swipe his spot.

A great find anywhere. Coingrats!!

Meant no offense. I know the feeling when your on a good spot that has not yet paid out but I dont see how revealing if it was a dock site or swim beach gives away much of anything. Likely hundreds if not thousands of miles of shoreline in the Seattle area
