Yesterday's sidewalk strip - silver

After Saturday's hunt with people from TNet, couldn't stay inside yesterday. Went down my street to a house that's been empty for a while. Sidewalk strips are owned by the city. Found lots of pennies and at the very end of the strip (isn't it always the way?) found my 2nd Mercury dime! (3rd ever silver coin). Other finds were the badge above the dime in the photo - it says "President" - looks like it was hooked over a button on a chest pocket or something. And the button - looked it up and found it online - Waterbury Button Co - a policeman's uniform button. Thanks for looking and HH!

Re: Yesterday's sidewalk strip - silver

What date is the merc? if it is a 1916 have you checked to see if there is a D mint mark?

Hi Wayne, thanks, but nope - it's a 1918. Still my oldest silver - last merc was 1923

Of course I found nails! (or my nickname isn't "nail..." - no, wait - "pipe..." - um, no, that's not so good either
I'm saving 'em up - dump them in old jars when I'm cleaning finds, so end-of-season post will be a rusty nail spectacular

I have a closet full of those buttons on my old police uniforms! Still in use today. Monty
