Nice old silvers buddy. The small nickle is called a "fishscale". The old timers up here in Canuckia thought that the tiny silver nickles resembled the scales on a large fresh water fish, thus fish scales. When someone handles one of these and realises how small and thin they are, they get it. Congratulations, a fishscale is a nice find up in these parts, and very unusual down there. Maybe a Calgary cowboy or cattle man was visiting back in the day.

Nice finds thanks for the pics of them. Haven't found anything that old yet. Can't wait.

Too bad it wasn't a 1921 that you found.
Worth $5000 and upwards of $20,000
