That Vicky Is In Pretty Good Shape For An Old Gal.....:cheekkiss:

[John-Edmonton]

Headed out for a spin this afternoon. I was quite surprised to dig a 1900 Victoria silver quarter in such good shape. I mean, she had been buried for about 100 years. That bottle is/was a bottle of perfume, from ROGER & GALLET PERFUME DISTILLERY PARIS, SINCE 1862.

The bottle is nice but that Viccy silver is in stunning condition,she died in 1901 if i recall,but that coin is about as good as you will find

That Victoria coin must have been lost very soon after it came into circulation....beautiful coin....nicely done!

Beautiful Canadian quarter going back to the days they were using .925 silver. According to my book the Canadian mint produced a lot in that year but in the condition it is in, it could be worth a very nice dinner for two in a fancy restaurant... 75$ for very fine, 200$ for extremely fine. I should think it falls somewhere in that range. In this book, they grade the condition by the details in her hair.

At what depth did you find these 2 coins ?

is this a show off your Vicky Thread

found this the other day bronze penny. the British penny's hold up so much better than our Aussie copper coins never see them come out this good shame about the nick on her face but best looking BP I have found and old for where I am.

seated penny's they are called

nice Canadian silver good to see some other coins from the empire.

it stunned me dfmike when I 1st seen it looks like it was dropped right from the mint nearly just never know what's going to come out hey that's why detecting is such fun I think and yes there was some older coins in this spot but not this old if only they could talk
