Popular Post Zincoln Posted March 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2023 Had 3 hours today, so went back and changed up the reactivity and frequency on the Dues. No silver, but managed several nice early wheats and an IHC. That's two 1910s wheats from this spot in the last 10 days. Thought I had the elusive 1914D today before i cleaned it up, but turned out to be a 1917D. Others are a 1920s and 1919s. These are a mottled green color when dug (Some verdigris and some copper/bronze appearance - kinda ugly and unappealing). I soak em in boiling peroxide, Qtip them clean and then coat them with renaissance wax. They are all damaged already, so this gives them a more even tone and better detail contrast. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off Grid Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Boot nails are one thing but I figure that firing off No.5 birdshot in gold-bearing areas should be a capital offence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_in_CA Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 But OF COURSE ! What else do we expect out here on our west coast OTHER than the better S mint coins. Tsk tsk. After all, we're closer to SF than to Philly 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly have done just fine over the years on both those SF coins and our earliest settlement drops! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Nice job on the copper coins, Zincoln, that IHP is stunning! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
