Neat find in the dealer junk bin

Postby Pennysaved » Thu Sep 22, 2011 6:20 pm

Today, I went through the dealer junk bin; I did find one silver coin a 1966 Mexican un Peso; i know not much silver but still bought well below melt.

The neat thing I found is an old bank stamp

The 1st National Bank of Vacaville California
Incorporated
May 28, 1910

It is bigger than a Morgan dollar and is heavy

Anyone know much about these?

Bigger than a Morgan? That's cool.

I got a hit on my craigslist ad today and ended up with 4 silvers:

1944 philipine (US) 50 centavos
1930 10 francs
1967 canada 50¢ howling wolf
1965 kennedy
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

I had a bunch of these about 10 years ago. They're big, but have about the same silver as a war nickel.

I dont think this one is silver; it has a little rust on it

All the letters are all backwards.

I tried to look for one on ebay but could not find one
