1918 & 1919 Merc dimes ~ 1929 Buffalo nickel ~ 1943 War nickel ~ Trade Token

[SALES PREMIUM - 2 1/2 c - DR. WEST'S PRODUCTS ONLY]

Hello!

Went out detecting today ~ it rained early in the day, but the rain stopped and it made for a perfect day to dig some treasures!  Here's what I found today:

1918-S Mercury Dime
1919 Mercury Dime
1929-S Buffalo Nickel
1943-S War nickel
8 wheat cents dating from 1919 to 1956
4 clad quarters
17 clad dimes
2 modern nickels
58 memorial cents

I took pic's of the coins & token before and after I cleaned them up.  These Merc dimes are my silver coins #90 & #91 for the year.  My goal is to beat my silver count from last year ~ I dug 104 silver coins in 2008.  I only need to dig 14 more by Dec 31 to beat it!

This trade token is one I've never seen before!  It's about the same size as a US one cent.  One side reads, SALES PREMIUM - 2 1/2 c - DR. WEST'S PRODUCTS ONLY, and the other side reads, REDEEMABLE IN CASH - NOT GOOD AFTER JULY 31st 1933 - THE WESTERN CO. CHICAGO.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Wow love the token that is way cool  kip

Great finds as usual, Neil.  I also love the token.  How cool that you don't need to do any research on it to figure out how old it is?

I still haven't learned the nickel sound.  Following the cursor position on my Ex2 is an effort in futility, so I just avoid the mid range conductors and leave the big honking gold rings to the next guy.

nice job Neil.  I'm sure you'll beat last years totals at the pace you're finding silver

You had a great day of hunting there! Really like the token!

Congratulations on the silvers & the token, real neat one you have there. Good luck making your goal!

THANKS!

Yeah, tokens are the cream of the crop!  I didn't know much about 'em until I started detecting.  I've been a coin collector since I was 8 years old ~ finding coins is great ~ but sometimes the other stuff is more exciting!
