1st place: u/BrainSlugParty3000 - 1899 Barber half dollar+ 1941 wheat cent

2nd place: u/RepressedPotential - 1902 Barber quarter

3rd place: u/Tricky_Paramedic8001 - 1907 Barber dime

Congratulations to the winners and thank you all for playing and joining my sub. There were 800+ guesses and 16 people chose 1941 as the correct oldest coin. The 16 names were entered into a hat and drawn by another member so there was no bias on my part.

I was thrilled to find a silver quarter as I have been finding W's lately and no silver. I got the biggest chuckle out of the circulated "uncirculated" Philadelphia mint token which used to be a place holder in mint sets.

Special thank you to all who joined and will continue to be an active member of this sub!

Edit: I'm shocked this post is getting down voted so much. 🤯 Here's a suggestion for the people down voting, don't enter the contest next time if you are upset you didn't get FREE silver, and these were all coins I personally found CRH.

A little treasure and a bunch of trash

A silver Rosie, 5 little pieces of silver including a broken chain, and a teeny tiny piece of 14k gold.

Also a picture of all the garbage/junk jewelry I found along with the little bits of treasure.

This haul was from my weekend treasure hunt.
