Silver Horse Medallion, 1927 Standing Liberty, 1890 Indian Head

[Bubba65]

Hi All,

I haven't been getting out much this year have been busy getting my book ready to be published. Anyways this is from my last 2 hour hunt and had a good time. The horse medallion( at least that is what I am calling it) is quite heavy for it's size and I didn't get a chance to put it on the scale. It is always good to get a Standing Liberty with a date although this one is beat up for sure. The 1890 Indian Head is interesting that the bottom curl of the 9 goes back and touches the other part of the 9. I see that they were minted to be pretty close and I think this is just from wear creating this look. Well over all a fun short hunt. Happy Memorial Day to ALL.

awesome medallion!

Super finds, Bubba, I will politely disagree on the animal depicted on your medallion. I believe it is the face of a Collie dog. Now, what the heck was the medallion used for anyway? Was it an award? Does it have remnants of an attachment loop on the top edge? I sure like it! Happy Hunting, Sub

I have to agree with Sub.The nose is to narrow for a horse,and,all that hair!
You must still must still have that rush going from finding it,calling a dog a horse!

GOD Bless

Chupacabra medallion? lol Anyways a very interesting find! Hey, that 1927 Standing is not all that beat up. With a good and proper cleaning it will be N.I.C.E.!

Definitely a collie. It looks like it had a bezel around it. I wonder if it was a reward for herding trials or something.

Ok thanks for all the replies Here is why I had horse on my mind, he was my hunting partner for the few hours. One time he picked my detector up with his mouth and started to take it away

Some nice finds for this time of the year Bubba (or any time of the year). Any SLQ with a date is good. Is your book CW related? HH, Q.

excellent digs. I'm thinking the horse looks more like a dog
