This is my 2nd 1921-D Mercury Dime that I have found with my Trusty Explorer XS. There were a few other Excellent Coins that I found also including Type 1&2 1917-D Standing Liberty Quarters, a nice 1851 Seated Dime, 1894,1896-O,1909-D,1903,1911 (03 and 11 Higher Grades) Barber Dimes, and quite a few High Grade Merc's along with a 1942-D Double Die Obverse. There were Wheat's also but nothing compared to the 21-D Merc as far as Value goes. Thanks for looking and Good Luck and HH to you all in 2008.[attachment 76354 1921-DMercuryDimeFront.jpg][attachment 76355 1921-DMercuryDimeBack.jpg]

There is only 188,000 of those Minted! That should be worth $600.00 Easy if not close to $800.00! You should have that GRADED!!! Again! WOW!!!!!!!!!

I didn't find much in the coin department this year, but I did luck out with a 1914D wheatie in great shape from my favorite local park. This is my second 14D, and I've found 2 1909S's and 1 1909S VDB so I've had excellent luck with the key date wheaties over the years. Take care and HH, Mike.

One of my newest copper finds of the year but it is without a doubt a nice shaped Large Cent, so despite a few that are rare, and more valuable, this is the prettiest one to look at.

I dug plenty of Half Reales and 2 Reales but my first two 1 Reales came in the same week.
Thanx for looking.

Only old coin found at that old home site. It was about one inch deep out front by the big tree!

This isn't the prettiest coin I've ever found but it was so unexpected that I think it's my favorite for the year.

happy holidays everyone.

i found this 1938-D walker in the mountains of Idyllwild, Ca. earlier in the year. it was found at a campground and was only three or four inches down! it has a couple of rim dings, but otherwise is in great shape for a dug super-key date coin.

Hummmm - that's a tough one - couldn't make up my mind but I kind of like these 2 found on the same hunt along with other goods.
Got one area that's been long waiting and so far the silver been producing each hunt. Otherwise I would of had a bad year. Might have to hit the area again x-mas afternoon with a couple detectors - weather permitting.
