Contest Time. I pulled a HALF DOLLAR out today. Guess The Year & Mint WINNER!!!

WaterColor, Kimsdad and I went out for a bit...My first place didn't look that good so I called it off....
We then met up at a grove that WaterColor wanted to check out....
I got 2 wheaties 1924 & 1927

Kimsdad's heart wasn't into hunting today....Maybe a long night with Mrs. Kimsdad.?
or he just wasn't feeling well....anyway...

Watercolor and I went and checked out an old homestead from the 1861 map....That I have been wanting to hit for almost a year.
That's when the Iron started to be dug....I got a cool horse bit and some buckles.
Next I pulled out THE SILVER HALF DOLLAR....then a couple IH's about ten feet away....
IH's are 1886 and 1905.....
I also got a nice spoon and a very cool stove plate....

CONTEST IS FOR THE ILLINOIS FORUM ( Must live in ILLINOIS )

Contest ends on THANKSGIVING NIGHT at 11:59pm.
Winner will receive a silver coin and some tokens.

First one to guess the YEAR & Where it was MINTED will WIN.....

This contest's idea came from WaterColor...It also came from Litefires previous post with the coin in the clump...
So my hat goes off to you 2 guys......

Maybe it was the doe that got hit by the car & had to be shot, my headphone wire breaking, or my inner ear telling me that I'm coming down with something by making me walk in arcs to the left whenever I get up - or all three...


Congrats on the great find, Bob!!!

I wish I was there to see it come out, and I'm real glad you found it!!! WTG!
Cool spoon, too!

Please don't read into what I said - Im I G N O R A N T and I can prove it!

I was using "her" as a generic term - like I call my car "her".

I wasn't there when Bob dug "it", and didn't mean to convey any hint of "its" ID - I'm in the dark!!!

I changed my response to fully gender neutral!

And they be a beautiful coin.
