It's been a while

I haven't been on in a while, but wanted to share a couple of finds my dad and I have made lately. The first is his, the second is mine. I think both are pretty amazing!

Cheers!

Nice!!!!!

Never found a silver dollar yet, nice score! Very unusual use of a clad half, but a cool find.

Not clad, that's a 40% silver half! Also, I just noticed the maker's mark inside. It looks like DOTSON 1966?

[Digger_O'Dell]

Ah yes, forgot about the reduced silver mintage. Any info on the maker of the piece? Could be some lost artists piece maybe?

[Bucknut]

Wow those are really cool!

[z118]

Thanks for the replies! The half is stamped with "(c) Alvin Hutson 1966." It looks like he made quite a few of these as they can be found on Ebay, Etsy, etc. Definitely not an everyday find though!

That's a couple of rare finds. I would like to see the process used to raise that face on the JFK. Really unique find. Thx for posting WD

[OxShoeDrew]

Yeah, I'd also like to see how they do that! Another thing to add to my wish list, thanks! :lol:
Congrats!!!

Another thing to add to my wish list, thanks!

:rofl: No kidding Drew!

Those push up coins are cool! A few years ago while hunting with Mike, (Silverstar), he found a pushup Barber dime silver ring! That was cool too! But this big coin has much more detail. Very cool! :cool:
But not as cool as a Peace dollar!! :shocked04:
Other than a gold coin, a silver dollar is one still on the MOST WANTED list.
Congrats to ya both! :grin:

Really good to see a post from ya Z! :yes:

[Cheap Thrills]

Welcome back , those are two truly amazing finds .

[aloldstuff]

Two finds that you don't see posted.....huge congrats.

[Tony Two-Cent]

I'm not sure how I missed this post. Both of those finds are incredible! I love the Kennedy half. It is a very unusual find. So cool!

And a Peace Dollar! WOW! That is a spectacular find! What kind of site was it found at? I am still looking for my first silver dollar.

:congrats:
