My Oldest Silver Coin to Date

[GoGoGopher]

Went to a park we have been hitting for the last year and a half. This is one of the oldest if not "the" oldest park in the city of Syracuse. First good target of the day was a 1944D Mercury Dime. Next was my oldest silver coin to date, a 1886 Canadian Dime. Finally, just before dark I found the 1936 Mercury Dime and the 1946 Wheat Cent. I am still stoked.
All coins come out of this park looking dark or beat up...I guess it is the fertizers used there.







Happy Hunting and Dress Warm!

Wow! Beautiful old Canadian dime! Sometimes our fave parks, beaches or fields become our second home, lol. Andi

The Canadian 10 cents is the winner there!

Congrats on your oldest. As stated Canadian Vickies are hard to come by no matter where you live.
There are a few varieties for this date, mostly involving the "6" in the date.
