Large Silver Dino

[mariposagold]

It's been forever since I last posted a find. But I found a window of opportunity for a short hunt and took it. I hunted a school that is probably my second must hunted school. Mostly sticking to the wood chips because of lack of time. Finding the usual clad, I was suddenly presented with a 94 vdi on my MXT Pro. "Say What?" thinking someone perhaps buried a can, but certainly not real silver. I nearly frozen chips, and walla, big and silver. Weighing in at 1.337 ounces. Yeah I know it's plated.

I've done a lot of searching and though I'm still quite confused as to any real value, I'm very excited to have found it nonetheless.

Thanks for sharing the experience with me.

Very cool find. The unusual is always nice

Nice dig, it's worth what the buyer will pay. .999 silver coins from the mint are going for $33. Yours is silver plated brass.

It certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings to find a Barber dollar. Just Saying.

Can't say I remember seeing one of those posted. If I had dug that one, it would have been a can lol.

I saw that. The part that gets me is the Numista Rarity index: 94. The Mintage being 1,993. Finding a realistic value, just for the reference, seems to be difficult at best.

Thanks for the information.
