May 13th coin hunting finds:

I went back to the bank that had given me rolls of dimes containing silver and once again, they did not disappoint!

In $100 worth of dimes I found:
Three colour 2021 dimes
$1.10 in US dimes
Four 1968 nickel alloy dimes
And best of all, another 1939 dated silver dime!

Silver coins are still out there!

Enjoy!

May 13th find:

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

While running some errands this evening, I walked by an apartment complex in my neighbourhood that had a lot of garbage at the curb.  Garbage day is Wednesday, so normally I wouldn’t think anything about the boxes of trash and household junk in these boxes, but something stuck out;  I saw the Canadian coat of arms on a cardboard box and immediately, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

I was delighted to see that it was a case for a 1967 coin set, but what was even better was that there were coins inside of the case!. Sadly (but not unexpectedly) there was no $20 gold piece in the set.  🤣

But finding free coins is always a thrill, especially when some of them are silver!  Why would anybody throw coins into the garbage?

The question is:  Do I leave it as-is?  Do I replace the tarnished coins with better examples?  Do I complete the set by buying a 1967 $20 gold coin?

What would you do?

Enjoy!

UH-OH! It was probably someone’s moving day and you walked away with their coins.

Today was your lucky day! I imagined if they threw away  the set that also included the gold coin and it went to the landfill  but at least you saved it from the garbage. One man's trash is another man's treasure. But I did some research about the golden $20 coin and I see the melt value is $1400 but it sells upwards from 2.5k to 2.7k which is very expensive but if you have the money then I would buy it.
