What Year Is That Canadian Dime? It May Be Silver Also.

my first Mercury dime was ran over by a train! But, even in a flattened, elongated "condition",
I was still able to make out it was a Merc by the profile, the obverse, face of the coin - its silver, all right!
You have some great finds! HH

 

[treblehunter]

Good deal girl, you got a great find, I want to know more about the other coin?

I hope you find more, start in that area you found the Merc and go real slow, and low. Take your time and cover every square inch. That's probably your game plan anyhow, good luck.
