Back to the park. 5 indians, 1898 Chicago dog tag

[Chicago Ron]

Back to my spot for 3 hours today. 5 Indians 1881, 1887, 1892,1896, 1899. A 1896 V nickel And a no date type 2 Shield nickel (my first). My favorite find of the day was a 1898 Chicago dog tag. This is my oldest tag yet.
Also went out for 3 hours on Sunday. Managed 4 indians, 1899x2 1901 and a 1908. and a 1940D merc.
Good Hunting.

Very interesting Dog Tax Tag! Wonder what the reasoning is behind that design? Regardless, very cool!

Congrats on all the goodies! Love finding the IH's, but I agree with you... the dog tag is the coolest!

Thanks Everyone. I have more information off another forum. The tag is listed in a book as only 9 known, Rare. Don't know what the value might be, what ever a collector is willing to pay I guess. I don't often sell stuff..
Chicago started making dog tags in 1871. A friend found a first year tag and sold it to a collector it was the only one he didnt have. Big bucks probably!

Nice coins Chicago Ron and on the dog tag looks like a heart, picture of a dog, a dog bone and maybe number 22.

Holy cow, those indian heads look fantastic. The only ones I've ever found are all corroded. Your soil must be really kind to coins.

The dog tag is a gem.
