  • Road trip time.

    As the title says it is time for a road trip.
    Today will be spent packing and organizing so I doubt that any dirt fishing will be done.
    This is just a down and dirty post of Sunday's finds.
    The 5 X 10 will pay for itself in no time if this keeps up. Click image for larger version

    This one had me fooled.
    The tone indicated nickel, and the size when I first saw it was exactly what I was expecting.

    Detailed information about the coin 1 Cent, Christian IX, Danish West Indies (1730-1917), with pictures and collection and swap management: mintage, descriptions, metal, weight, size, value and other numismatic data

    A bit of history on the Danish West Indies for those who (like me) have never heard of them.

    Wonder what all the one cent piece could have bought in 1868?

      One heck of a lot more than it does now, that is for sure.
      Coins of that era were likely dropped/lost by some miner heading to the gold fields.

    Wow that's a long journey! If coins could talk or just take a few notes.
    N.C. from the mountains to the sea

      Hahaha, no kidding. There are tons of things that I have found that I would love to find the story behind.
