The other side is pretty bad, looks like it might have been laying there since 1920 :P Cant even see George, too much grime

If it was dropped there in 1920 then you would have found it in very nice condition. When you look at it you can see as much circulation on it as there is on one in a junk silver pile. Along with many other things this is just one of them that frustrates me with metal detecting, you find a coin in an old foundation or something that was lost decades ago and yet somehow is in circulated condition, What is with that? Anyway nice find!

Yeah, rim waffling on toonies is a killer. It sucks that it can make a really nice, new toonie look poorly made. Dumped $101 of nickels and dimes at the bank just before closing. Then, I lined up to take out some $10s. Replacement FTC 9.369M-9.648M:   Unfortunately, both notes are in rough shape  . I'm only keeping the radar because it's my first 2-digit radar.

I pull any pre 2001 coins from circulation just so the ARP won't get them. Found this 78 Large Denticle quarter. Not in the best of shape, but first one I have found.

Jimmy I'm guilty of that myself to a point. I'm stuck on Nickles. I'm just trying to build up something to sort later on. Anything before 1982. I'm also keeping a few of the harder to find examples after that. Thanks for sharing. Shoeplier I have yet to find my first radar. Nice!
