Strange Silver in South Alabama

[dlrwaitnonadime]

You never know what you will find. We got back out today for a few hours today, after hitting the four silver yesterday we had the fever. I got this at about five inches. Knew it was silver but had no idea what it was til I got it cleaned up. Dated 1874, makes it my oldest coin yet.

NiCE FIND! Yeah, it's a German Mark. Same year as my 2 Pfennig (2 penny) coin found a few weeks ago.

Silver is Silver in all languages! It's fun to make those unexpected finds.

I collect World Coins as another hobby. Its a 1874 D 1 Mark from the German Empire. Its a more common year and mintmark but is 90% silver! Nice find!

Howdy dlrwaitnonadime,

Where are you in LA? I went to Hign School in Coffee County. I live in Germany now and have seen my share of modern Deutsche Marks but no silver ones yet...pretty cool. If you are near Coffee Co. I might be able to put you on to a couple of places of interest to you. Let me know.

Happy Hunting to all!
