Another first for me!

I was able to line up five old houses in town and got skunked at the first one, but at the second I found an Eisenhower dollar, its
not silver, but I think its pretty cool.

Thought they were silver?

Silver “Ikes” were minted in San Francisco, they would therefore have an ‘S’ mintmark. I believe that they were 40% silver. This is a great find however. No detectorist would miss a coin as big as this, I would continue to work this site as clearly it has never been worked.

Nice Ike! You never see them anymore!

Congratualtions on the dollar coin find!

 

[Reanm8er]

Great find!

Do they still make them? I know they used to make them expressly for the casino slot machines, but they may have gone to tokens now.

Dollar coins,, even if they are not silver, are always fun to find. Congrats on your Ike.

When I dig larger denomination coins I think...”One silver dollar=1 hole compared to 1.00 in pennies=100 holes!” (and the newer pennies just corrode so they don’t count for much[emoji6]....That’s better in the back and knees and saves time LOL.
