Two silvers and one's a Vicky

[Gridwalker306]

I hit the old school and found the usual toy cars and clad. A couple wheats and this 1959 silver dime popped up which was nice, but I'm craving the older stuff.

I went back to my fav spot that is packed with trash to try my luck. I found one coin, this silver Vicky dime. Of course there was much trash in the hole with it. I upped my reactivity to 4 to change things up and it paid off. It's pretty worn but I'll take it. I think I can barely make out 18xx where the date should be.

I was just telling my wife today how I was bummed I haven't found a Barber or Vicky yet this year...

Thanks A2. I'm impressed that you found a Vicky quarter, especially in the US. They are really hard to find! I've only ever found two in seven years, and I think this is my third ever Vicky dime. For me it seems much easier to find Barbers than Vickies...and I'm in Canada lol

Thanks Tom! Although I like finding crisp old silvers with sharp details, I can appreciate when they show the wear from being passed through many hands. It sure is slick!

In that case, tell her you wish for a jar of gold coins. It seems to be working!

My first silver ever was a Vickie quarter with a super low mintage. Glad you found what you were looking for my friend

Sweet hunt, two nice silvers.
Congratulations

Nice finds. I recently gave reactivity 4 a try in my little corner of the seated field. It's paid off and everyone should give it a try in the iron after using reactivity 2 and 3. I'll probably never find a Vickie silver. Haven't even found newer Canadian silver

Your first ever silver was a rare Vicky quarter?! I'm going to guess 1893? Was it in good shape? Man, no wonder you got hooked.

I've only ever found 8 or 9 Vicky silver coins in seven years. They are a tough find, especially out here on the prairies.

Never say never! I think your Seated field may hold a few more surprises for you.
