1960-D Rosie dime ERROR and five wheats cents!

[oddcoins]

Hello!

So . . . . the weather has turned nice & sunny, but a little too hot to go detecting in. But this evening the wife & I took a picnic dinner to the Mill Race Park downtown and I did some detecting in the shade after we ate.

This park has been pounded to death for a few years now, but we still seem to find some treasures there once in a while.

I'm still getting aquainted with the Minelab Explorer SE that I bought from my buddy Ron ~ it's a great detector and I'm having fun learning it! I think I'm doing OK so far ~ this evening I dug a 1960-D Rosie Dime, five wheat cents, and three Memorial cents. Also, the deepest target I dug today was an old MASTERCRAFT spark plug.

When I got home and cleaned up the Rosie dime I looked at it through my stereo microscope and noticed that it has a repunched mintmark error/variety! VERY COOL! It's a 1960 D over D ~ and it's listed in the RPM book as 10c 1960 D/D RPM #1. You can see a secondary D under (south) of the main D mintmark. I took a picture of the one listed in the book.

This Rosie dime is my silver coin find #35 for the year!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

It's always fun to find silver and wheats in places that have been
hunted real hard for years. That Rosie error coin is something that
most of us would have overlooked.
The spark plug is an unusual find also but neat. Congratulations
on a successful hunt Neil.

Yeah, Neil! Way to sniff out the silver with your new machine. I hear that you are a natural with the Explorers. I'm loving mine, too! I need to seed my test garden with a few nickels so that I can start learning those tones better and be able to key in on them amongst all the chatter. I'm finding that the high silver/copper tones (oh yeah, and the deep iron!) really get my attention and I know I'm passing up old nickels.

I'm really envious of the stereo microscope. What an awesome toy for a coin nut.

Thanks man!

It's hard to say how much it's worth ~ maybe $10 . . . . maybe a little more? Not too big of a deal ~ just kinda cool!

Neil,
That is a very neat find. Not easy finding error coins. I'd give you $10 any day for it.

Congratulations, Neil, on upgrading your detector. Since you love detecting so much, it is money well spent!
I never knew about the '60 D Rosie repunched mintmark.

Congrats and Good Luck!!
