best silver day yet

swish · Feb 17, 2011

Hi all
The weather was perfect today so i had to hit the streets. i wore out after about 2 hours but what a 2 hours. i hit the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the road as it's city property and they have no problems with it as long as you don't make a mess. these coins came from one side of the street about a half a block long. 31pennies-with 19 being wheats from 1928 -1955 4 quarters and 9 dimes. including a 1917 -1945 -1945 and 1957 a boy scout token from excelsior shoe company -portsmouth ohio and a 1791 2 reale. i don't know how it ended up there but i'm glad it did. i never thought i'd find one up here in Ohio. some of you who know about this type of coin can probally give me an idea of just what it is.

Thats a very old Boy Scouts token. Very early 1930's before Hitler turned the swastika into a very nasty symbol. It was originally a sun symbol and often used the symbol for good luck, but Hitler identified in with a symbol of power and applied it as such. A most excellent set of finds for sure!
