US Old Coins
Found these ladies yesterday while looking around in a nearby shop.
2, 1905 Liberty, V nickles
And these 2 gals
1938 & 1940 Winged Liberty head dimes Or more commonly called Mercury dimes
Cool additions to a collection
Another fun silver mold, used for making small ingots. I plan on carving designs or maybe a name into and making petite silver ingots.
1/4, 1/2 and 1 ounce molds
Nice little finds, what kind of shop did you look, Antique store? I gt lucky finding some silver dimes at a Salvation Army Thrift shop.
It was a little antique store just outside of town. Wow, Salvation Army of all places.
In a watch case filled with about 30 1967 1968 50% silver dimes sitting in a cabinet and bought it for 20% BELOW melt value.
Even better....
Below melt value!!
Fab finds!! I'm falling in love with the early US coins- being in the UK they feel exotic 😁

Hey there Prixie Stix 😜🤫
Hehhehee I love how people know what to look for. I wouldn't have a clue! @eveningart had a cool magazine that she was reading... Where do you get your info from??
I'd probably have to walk into a thrift shop with a cheat sheat hahahahahaha

Which Info? I like that these coins are old. The dimes are silver and have a nice patina.
I did not purchase these because of the monetary value. They have some. I purchased these as a gift so whatever the cost, they are worth it. Hoping the person(s) that receive these will enjoy.
Lovely!!! I have to get me some Barbers. I do have a V nickle, just one.
Barbers? Like the kind that cut hair?
Barbers as plural of Barber... The Barber coinage consists of a dime, quarter, and half dollar designed by United States Bureau of the Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber.
Thank you for the information
