100 Year Old Coin Purse Gives Up the Silver!

[Silvermonkey]

Happy Wednesday T-Net Nation!

I was out hunting a very overgrown picnic area this afternoon, and swung over the remains of a 100 year old coin purse. There was very little of the purse left, but it contained a collection of 13 coins, ranging in date from 1909- 1919. The two SLQ's were actually fused together, as you can see in the pictures




The total included: 2 SLQ's, 1914 Barber quarter, 1909 Liberty nickel, 1 Buffalo nickel, and 8 wheaties ( 1911, 1914, 1914, 1914, 1918, 1919, 1919, and 1919). I was super excited about this find, especially given the three silver quarters!

On my way back to the car, I also managed a 1944 Merc, and a 1911-D Barber quarter



The quarter is in great shape, and turns out to be a semi key date, with only 933,000 minted!

All in all a fantastic day for me. Not sure how many hunts will be left in 2024, but if this turns out to be the last one...I couldn't be happier!

Thanks for taking a look, and wishing everyone good hunting!
Cheers!

Good eye Sue_Doanim. You are correct...looks like I mis-counted... and then lost one of the pennies...? Not sure. Weird.

Awesome recovery

Superb find! Looks like you have a place that will need to get hard in the spring before everything gets overgrown again.

What a way to possibly close out the year. That’s the type of spill I think we all dream about. Congrats!
