2 silver quarters in the same hole!! and a 3 Merry Widows tin

oddcoins · Aug 2, 2012

Hello!

I got out today for a couple hours after work ~ it was such a nice day!! I headed back down near the University of Oregon. I dug a bunch of clad, an old 3 Merry Widows condom tin (I haven't looked inside it yet), and I dug two 1961-D silver Washington Quarters together in the same hole! I love it when that happens!!

After looking at the quarters under a magnifing glass I noticed that one of the 1961-D Quarter is a die variety error~ repunched mint mark! D over D. You can see a light D just to the north of the main D. This is a known variety ~ listed as 1961-D 25c RPM #2 D/D North (see pic from John Wexler's THE RPM BOOK).

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Nice silvers, it's always good to find them in pairs! I found the same 3 Merry Widows tin last year. The "device" was still inside....it was nasty.

Um, back then I think that after using their devices they removed them and stored them back in the tin for the next rainy day. lol

Nice pocket spill!! I have only found two multiple silver spills, one was two mercury dimes the other was two roosevelt dimes

I have found two of the Merry Widows tins and had to be corrected from my belief that they were "makeup compacts". I haven't opened eith one of the ones I have found because they are compressed and I am scared I will destroy them to get them open.
