Update on New machine and hunt results

[darnsober]

Well out of the M6 the Exterra 50 and the Excel i decided to go with the Excel. It came in Tuesday took it to my dads yard for 30 minutes and found a 68 dime. Yesterday took her out for you real test a 4 hour hunt in a near 100 year old park and found only 38 cents all clad but i was in the woods. Well today

Well took the new Xcel out and got some great tips from middlesex telling me he lowered his sen to 3 and ben saying more less the same thing. Well today i went back over to a park in cincinnati and hunted for about 2 hrs. Was finding a bunch of different bullets and some junk. Told myself i wasnt going to light a cigarette up until i found a coin well 2 hrs later i got a solid silver signal. The VDI kept jumping from dime 30 to silver 36 so I dugged and 5 inches later this pops out

This was my first silver dime ever and a goal for the year. This is my 1st silver this year and 4th overall the other 3 being all quarters 48 39 and 54
I was discouraged yesterday but feel great about the machine today can i get a who ha lol

Well Darn, darn nice winged liberty dime. Turn her over and look for the mint mark. That dime falls in the 6 to 10 dollar range. If it is a Dever minted one the value about doubles. The mintmark is at the bottom left adjascent to the E in one. Great find. There will be others including Barber dimes...Good luck............Gil

Grinsebring, whom would pay $6.-10 dollars for it? Would one go to a coin collector? I have many of those which I found over the years at the Forest Preserves.

Dealer's Choice-
When you say "I have many of those...", do you mean that you have many 1919's or just Mercury Dimes in general?
What Grinsebring is saying it that particular year (1919) in the condition shown would be worth between $6.00 and $10.00.
More common dates and worn coins are usually just worth bullion value.

Mercury Dimes

Oh no, I ment that I had quite a few Mercury Head Dimes. I am uncertain of the dates on them however. Basically, I just throw the coins of any type into a bag and some day, I wil find a cleaner and discover at least 3/4 of what coins and dates are in that bag. I do not know as of yet, what the best way is to clean coins.

Very sweet merc DS. Congrats.

 

[Waterman]

That's a beauty, no doubt about it! Congrates H.H.:-)

 

[hoser]

DC, I would be real careful not to clean any coin other than the newer clad coins. There could be an old coin that you have found that has some real value to it, and by cleaning, you may take away that value. Clad coins, I just put them into a tumbler with some white aquarium gravel and a little soap and water. tumble them for about one - two hours, and they should be clean enough to spend. Hope this helped.
