Took me 10 months to find a silver Washington... and its a looker!

[BigWaveDave]

A bizarre slump this year got broken by this great looking coin...1934.


Today was a great hunt...also pulled a couple of dimes, a 47-D Rosie..and a sharp 1936 Merc... so I am happy with those for sure.

The 3 wheats were highlighted by a 1916...awesome!


BUT..the Belle of the ball is the 1944 Phillipines 5 centavo....
It has an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel.....these were minted for the Phillipines during WW2, a foreign war nickel!!!


Thanks for looking!

Congrats BWD...
There are things to look out for on this quarter...

Double Dies on the words "in god we trust" are worth between 85 and $4,800.00 ,
And a "light motto"... and heavy mottoes. The heavy and light motto is on the words "in god we trust" as well.

Yours MAY be a "heavy motto".

I saw the varieties..looks to be the heavy motto type....no doubling that I can see.
