A Little Park Silver

[oldmxrat]

Got out for a couple hours this morning at a city park before my Dr. appointment. Sniffed out $1.83 in clad, a cart token from the Seattle airport, some kind of utility? tag, a phony cob and a 1957 Canadian holed dime.




Always happy to find something other than clad!

Why is it silver looking? We don't see much Canadian coins here.

Oh, must have been plated. Oh well.

Oh, must have been plated. Oh well.

Think of it like this, a silver-plated Canadian penny, with a hole in it, is alot rarer than a silver Canadian dime.

Congratulations on a nice dig

I live in a border town, and find Canadian coins on almost every ‘serious’ hunt!

I would call your coin a Canadian Wheatie :0 - they are a omen of good things to come

still differentness and that is cool in and of itself!

So rare it’s almost non-existent! 😂

I guess it’s always possible that someone actually plated it with silver but seems extremely unlikely. I think this is someone having fun with chemistry


100% of 1957 Penny’s minted by RCM were copper.

@oldmxrat Still an interesting find. Thanks for sharing.

I actually sewed it onto my favorite hunting hat because of your response and I've had some incredible luck since then!

‘Find a penny, pick it up. Sew it on a hat and have good luck?’

Doesn’t quite have the same flow as the original… 😂

Here’s the one I’m hoping someone is dumb enough to buy and lose in the grass…
