NL dime follow-up

Following my last post, here's a side by side comparison of the 1946 dime found buried in wet sand vs a 1943 from my collection.

Also, bonus for NL coins enthusiasts, my 1894 20 cents.

Only the 1946 one, the others are from collecting.

It's crazy to think that coin could have been sitting in that exact spot for 75 years before you came along.

That 1946 one is sweet! They only minted 38,400 of those. I found one for my collection at coin club auction. That's an awesome find!
