Old silver egh: Canadian Victoria 5 cent

[Scrappy]

Hey you hosers! I always hear of them (you) Canadians finding our U.S. Coins up there egh, and all I ever find down here are your semi-modern pennies. Well here it is, an old Canadian silver from the Great White North, 1886, in New Jersey. It's about time I got something shiny from Canada besides a Labatt Beer

Now take off egh!!

Thx J. The nickname "fishscales" is hilarious! Considering their size I'm surprised more aren't lost and ready to be found...

I dug one in June and is my first in years. They just don't tend to turn up where I hunt, at least for me they don't... but I could go to the park and pop one. Plus I'm the guy who only found 1 silver coin all of last year so I guess I have bigger problems!

That's Ricky and Julian's money Trevor! Good find man!

I don't recall seeing too many posted on here so it felt nice to snag one. Hit any new sites lately?

Scrappy, you always seem to find nice stuff when you hunt.

I used to dig them on a fairly regular basis but no longer hunt the same type of places.

Just about to kick things off here soon.

Truth be known, I have found tons of your clad here and a few early 1800's coppers but never an old silver yet...Congrats to you...

Yeah, they are so small and light, when you drop one it floats to the ground like a snowflake...which would be another good name for them lol. Definitely easy to lose.

Honestly the story went like this...

I pulled it out from about 6" down. 12-40 on the CTX. Saw no edge and silver and thought 1/4 or half reale. Dropped it, lost it, picked it up and wiped and cursed. On second glance I thought it was some crappy tiny foreign nickel coin. Then I saw Victoria and 1886 and was like "wooohoooo!" Lol

 

[Patriot Relics]

Still counts

 

[Hot diggity]

U'r gonna give it back eh?
