Something to post, at long last - silver and old token

[rastinirv]

It's been *such* a hot summer on top of which I have been so busy with work (and thankful I still have my job) that I've hardly gotten out at all and when I did, little of interest turned up.

Yesterday I was at a new spot, though, and as these things so often go, within 5 minutes I had found the two silvers; naturally I assumed I'd be going home with a roll each of silver dimes and quarters. After two hours, though, no more silvers. But I did find some wheats and other interesting (to me) bits and bobs that are not pictured. And towards the end I found the shoe token, which was a first for me.

All in all a good day in the dirt! As pictured:
1956 Roosevelt dime
1910 good-luck token issued by the Excelsior Shoe Company of Portsmouth, Ohio ("The Excelsior Shoe for Boys"); features a pre-Nazi use of the swastika
1954-D Washington quarter



Thanks for looking!

Nice silver and an interesting token. Too bad that symbol will forever be associated with the Nazis.

Nice going on the silver and token.
Usually the swastika was a symbol of good luck
The symbol has a deep rooted history in many cultures.

It was a good luck symbol in the US in the first part of the 1900's, and you had good luck!
