What is your oldest silver coin?

[hbru123]

My oldest silver coin is a Napoleon 1 Franc from 1810. Definitely super old for California! What is your oldest silver coin?

My oldest is this Charles I hammered silver penny. Most likely 1620's.




Oldest coins with dates are these Massachusetts Silvers. Oak Tree Shilling, Pine Tree Threepence, and Pine Tree Shilling cut into a threepence.

What a sad group of 17th century silvers lol. You know when 3 of your coins are dated 1652 you are clearly doing something right

I’m loving seeing all this old silver. We have been on a hunting slump this Summer and I’m itching to go . My oldest silver to date is this sweet little half dime which are hard to come by in this area. I dug an 18408-O real but alas it was taken in a coat I had laid down.

Real thread is below.

My oldest silver coin was a 1739 8 reales. I would post a photo of it but it was stolen by a relative while I was away at college.

1758 One Reale Pistareen, minted in Madrid, sailed to the new world on some ancient yet awesome ship, and left on an old farm in Eastern Long Island:

Mine would be this 1661 hammered King Leopold of Hungary I found on April 12, 2014. Was hunting a pretty early site for SW Pennsylvania, but this was still the last thing I expected to find. I found the 1708 cut Spanish 2 reales the same day, but it is my third oldest silver coin.

My first hammered. 1549 Frans Ferdinand silver Groschen.

My oldest silver is an 1802 reale of some sort....one of those shipwreck coins I picked up for 20 bucks at a Ft. Myers Beach tourist trap gift shop.
My oldest dug silver is a dateless thin wafer of a Seated dime, guaranteed it was originally a key date.

Ive got a few cobs from the late 1600s, a 1675ish LouisXIV 4 sol and a cut piece of a Pine Tree Shilling(1675ish as well)

1876 quarter

Last year i found my oldest Silver coin to date which also wound up being my first barber Quarter as well. What makes the find even more sweet is the fact that i found it with my Tesoro Compadre. Just goes to show you...you don't need a thousand dollar detector to find great things!

1839 seated dime , found in a soybean field last yr.. found the 1898 Barber about 5 feet away ….

 

[lawsonland]

Oak Tree Shilling

 

[bologna321]

I've improved, I'm down to a 1953 dime now

 

[Raider19962]

1853 Seated Liberty dime.

 

[Nitric]

Never dug any real old silver. The oldest silver I've dug...was a barber dime, I dug a rough walker, and the oldest quarter was a washington. I don't remember the dates, but nothing rare. I haven't found a whole lot of silver over the years. Not compared to the places we hit when we were going all the time. A little of everything past what I mention as the oldest type.



There are some nice coins in the thread!!!

 

[eyemustdigtreasure]

Nitric!
A Barber dime is fantastic, I've never dug any....
Besides my Seated dime, the best I've found was a 1916 Mercury dime, but not the valuable variety.
So, keep at it, and with a good, positive attitude, and standing in the right spot, you too will find OLD...!
