Today I found my first silver coin metal detecting. I believe its a 1876 Victoria dime? Sorry my camera sucks!

Congrats on your first silver find, keep at it you'll find more. If it is an 1876H then you got 1 of 10,000 minted and it's worth a few bucks even in worn condition. I was fortunate today and found a small coin spill of 1922, 1930 KG nickels and a 1919 KG dime, they were stacked in the same hole. Do you have a jewelers loupe or a magnifying glass to put on the camera lense for better pics. Pics of both sides would be great.

I'm leaning towards this coin being a Canada 1872H ten cent, after comparing side by sides and the faint lettering placement to Victoria's neck.

I can't tell! All I can see is a crown above 10 then cent under that it looks like 1872 187 for sure
