So Dirtscratcher, what's it going to be? One silver or two silver? "BOTH".
Very Nice!

What a thrilling recovery. What are the dates on those coins? Were they found in the same hole? They might have been "lost" at the time of the Great Depression. I wonder if those coins were not really lost, but were actually buried together for safekeeping. During the depression money was very tight and many people were hungry. One would have spent a long time looking for $1.60 in lost silver. It reminds me of something that happened in my family a few years back. When an elderly uncle passed away, the family was cleaning out his dusty, dirty basement. Underneath a big pickle jar was found a sizeable number of silver dollars--all from the late 20's. The family figures "Unc" hid the silver dollars for safekeeping during the depression and never went back for it. He was always a very frugal man, a trait of many who lived through that period of American history.

Yes they were all in the same hole, when I flipped the plug the dollar and the half fell out what a neat sight. Had to poke the trx a little to find the merc. The dollar is a 1928, the half is a 1940 , and the merc is a 1918.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words!

Is that a 1923 peace dollar or a 1928? It's hard to tell in the photo. A 1928 P is a killer coin, worth a minimum of a hundred dollars. Either way, nice find!

Good eye jeweler21. Definitely looks like a 1923. Too bad, because those 1928s are pretty rare.
