1881 O Morgan Silver Dollar

Here are two photos of one of my 1881 O Morgan Silver Dollars. I think the front toning is pretty neat, but the stripe on the back is a bit annoying. That's okay, though! I ended up picking up a Red Book for Morgan Dollars and I'm learning a whole lot!

Golden Eagle's Coin Roll Hunting Results - 12/22/2012

Hi guys,

Finally got through the 3 boxes of dimes, 1 box of nickels, 1 box of pennies and 1 box of Nickels I blogged about earlier this week and here are the results:

• Quarters : Some State Parks, otherwise skunked!
• Nickels: Total Skunk (Pee - yew!!!!)
• Pennies: Some wheats/coppers that went right into appropriate jars....
• Dimes: out of $750 dimes, 6 silvers including a 1943d Mercury dime!

No silvers pitched out of the machine on the return, but I was gifted with an extra 2 pennies overage from the coin counting machine. Bonus win!: The bank gives me a free gift if I can guess the amount of coins within $1.99 and I won a free bank hand sanitizer. Might need that next time after going through all of those coins again. #crhfingers

Coin of the Day #1 : Canadian 1945 King George VI 50 cent

This is the first of what I hope will be a recurring series on MDVids.Blogspot.com : Coin of the Day!

The idea is to show some photos of cool or interesting coins that people have in their collections. We'll be starting off with some coins of mine until others start submitting their own as well. I'm setting the bar pretty low, but it goes to show that anyone can have some things from their collection shown. From corroded, dug coins to slabbed and graded, we're looking for you!

Here are 2 images of my Canadian 1945 King George VI 50 cent silver coin. I picked up it for free as a throw in to a silver purchase I was making on an online trade site.

Do any of you guys buy, sell, or trade precious metals online? Let me know down in the comments below!

Silvers Found in Woods with Fisher F70 Metal Detector by Russ

In this video, Russ shows us all how to dig silver with his Fisher F70. He mentions that the silver quarters are ringing up in the 87-s , whereas the clad quarters are typically ringing up in the 83s on his F70. He also says the silver dimes ring up in a 76/77 range. Sort of awkward how he mentions the Fisher F70 a million times. He's hunting with a Fisher F70! .... Did you know he's using a Fisher F70?




Finds: 1938 Silver Washington Quarter, 1941 D Silver Mercury Dime, 7 Clad Dimes, 2 Zincolns, 1 1958 Wheat Penny, 8 Clad Quarters, 1 Compass Top

"My best coin day...E.V.E.R... OLD Silver Cache" by Aquachigger

The notorious Aquachigger video where he digs a lifetime's worth of 1700-1800's silver coins in one trip using the Garrett AT PRO metal detector! This is probably the most impressive metal detecting video available to date! He claims he found 6.5 pounds of silver coins!
