I never understood why people rub the dirt off silver coins. It really does destroy them and they look horrible. Carry an empty pill bottle half filled with water and drop your dug silver coins in the bottle...after a few minutes the dirt will rinse off and you can check the date. Also, it helps to protect the coins until you get home. I thank God I did this with my key date 1932D Washington Quarter. It now resides in a problem free PCGS slab XF40 valued around $250. It would easily have been a $60 dollar "problem" coin if I would of followed some of the previous advice.
Just dont shake the pill bottle any. I had a buddy put mine in a pill bottle and let it sit..then he sorta was shaking it lightly...it ended up have a SHIII load of little scratches
