Beautiful dollar! Someone told me that Canada stopped making silver coins a long time ago...seems like he said 1917. Any of you Canadians out there?

Your hard work and persistence really paid off Rick.

I knifed a 1921 morgan in the face also so don't feel bad.
Those coins are sooooo big, it's an easy this to doo.
Way to go man, I am really happy for you!

Hey Green thats one great looking find you got there Congrats.......
Now lets see that second dollar.

That is a real beauty...regarding the Canadian nickel...not silver. The nickel ceased being silver in 1922. All other denominations reamined silver until 1968.

Congrats on the Morgan. I got my first a couple of months ago. The same as yours. Same year. High mintage numbers on the 1921 Morgan. Definitely a rush when I saw it in the bottom of the hole. Good luck and happy hunting.

Nice find! Of all the dollar signals I've dug, only one was, and it was a spectacular feeling; you know it now.

Green,
Congrats to you. What a find!!! It amazes how someone could lose one of those big suckers. You think it would break a toe if it dropped on your foot.
What are those other items? Pendant? Buttons on the top of right column?
Great hunt,
MM

ahhhhhhhhhhhh very nice find !!!!!!!!!!!!! i only ever found one. it too is a 1921. sure gives yah a thrill. would love to find another. again cool find !

 

[piggman1]

WOW!!! I bet you did back flips when you uncovered that! Way to go, and may the luck stay with you!

 

[Eljeef]

WoW! That is probably my favourite silver dollar. I love those Morgans, and the detail on yours is outstanding! About the nickel...It is 100% nickel. If it was the 12 sided 1942 variety it would be 88% copper and 12% zinc i.e. tombac. Hope that helps. H.H.
