Mystery Quarter Contest is over!!

Johnny Ringo Silver · Apr 4, 2010

Here is a Quarter that I dug today. I just had to leave it in the plug to give everybody a guess at the age. At 6in deep, I've dug everything from barbers to standing liberties and even washingtons in this area. Though i'm doubting that its a washington! I'll bust it open and post the year on tuesday evening sometime. Closest guess will get a very nice steel penny in a 2X2. 8)

To Johnny Ringo Silver Hey dude ,it's me ,Shawn . Thanks for the coin . I love it :headbang:

Hey Shawn, Your welcome buddy! You would be suprised how many people have never seen a steel penny before. Most dont even know they ever existed. I've had old people tell me about how they knew someone that had a whole jar full of those ol' lead pennies.lol Its hard to convince some of them that they were actually steel. I hope it fits well in your collection! 8)

Johnny,
Very nice contest...sorry I missed it.

For everyone that would like a steel penny of their own just check the magnets on the coin machines at the bank. I seem to find one every 3rd or 4th time I check.
