Three Silver Eisenhower Dimes 1964 And 1963 No Mint Marks I Bought At The Fleamarket

  Here are three Eisenhower silver dimes I recently bought at a local flea market. I bought these about a week ago but I'm just now getting them up on the blog. I'm taking this image with my Android phone so the images are not nearly as good quality as when I used the scanner. None of these silver dimes have mint marks so there's no need to take images of the back sides. I believe that means they were all minted at the Philadelphia mint.

As you can tell these are all pretty worn. They're definitely in circulated condition, I would say very well circulated. The dates we have are two 1964's no mint mark and one 1963 with no mint mark. All three are 90% silver coins. 

I'm buying these because I want to have a fair amount in my possession when I start having giveaways and contests. My plan is to have at least several hundred Eisenhower silver dimes. But I won't get into detail about that right now because I still have a lot of work to do getting this blog together and getting about four or five other blogs together that will support both my hobby and my contest.

1959-D Silver Quarter I Found At A Coinstar Kiosk

 

So some crazy things happened and I haven't posted on this blog in almost seven years. I know thats a long time but life happens and maybe someday I'll talk about it but now I  want to start posting again. 

Anyway I've been keeping busy and because of some financial issues I don't have a laptop anymore or a scanner so I will be using my smartphone to do these posts which I can tell you so far is a big pain in my backside but I want to keep this blog going. Quality of images may be a little off as a scanner gets a lot better image in my opinion but I'll be getting a new computer in about a year. If you see any pics that are not centered correctly I'll try to fix it but it may take me some time 

I've actually kept collecting for awhile now so I'll be showing off some other new acquisitions in my growing coin collection. I have lots of old silver junk coins and copper pennies to post pics of and I have even bought a few things from local coin shops.

Stay tuned and I'll have an extravaganza of rare coinage to share with you and I'm still working my way towards some giveaways in coordination with my other blogs. This is still all a work in progress and all good things take some time putting together.

This is a quarter I found the other day while shopping at Wal-Mart. It is a 1959-D silver quarter and it's extra thick most likely because it was originally a part of a silver proof coin set. These coins are double stamped which gives them a thicker appearance than most normal coins. This one is also in pretty good condition for its age but it is obviously still worn down enough to be considered a circulated coin. 

This is the reason I always check the coin return at the Coinstar kiosks whenever l go to Walmart. For some reason whenever people use these coin counting machines they usually don't look at the coins they reject or they will try to put them back in and then get angry and leave them behind. For some reason these machines seem to reject all the old silver coins and a lot of older non-silver coins as well. I've found steel wheat pennies and even Indian head pennies this way. 

So next time you're  out shopping or at the bank be sure to check those coin counting machines and you might get a nice surprise, I know I get a lot of valuable coins for free that way.
