If you wish to compete for the three monthly "quantity" awards (Most Silver Coins, Most Face Value US Coins, Foreign Exchange Value), post your silver coin and face value totals for the month here.
Just edit your posts to update your total counts (instead of reposting the count each time you make new finds). Please try to limit your replies here to one post, if possible. You'll need to have your final edits in before the last day of the month, as that is when the awards will be tallied.
"Silver count" in this instance refers only to COINS, be they US or foreign. "Silver count" does not refer to silver jewelry. However, if you find a piece of coin jewelry, you may count it on your silver count, your face value count (if it's a US coin), AND enter it in the jewelry competition.
Silver coins also count toward your face value totals, so if for example you found nothing but a silver dime and two modern (nonsilver) quarters all month, your silver coin count would be 1, and your face value count 60 cents.
Non-US coins will not count toward your US face value total, but if they are silver, you may claim them on your silver count. For example, if you found nothing but a silver English shilling and two modern (nonsilver) US quarters, your silver count would be one and your face value count 50 cents.
The 1942-45 USA "wartime" Jefferson nickels DO count as silver, though they are only .350 fine instead of .900 fine.
(For those less numismatically inclined among us, these are the coins with the large mintmarks over the building's dome on the reverse.)
For the non-US coin exchange value category, enter the type of coin, its foreign value, and US exchange value.
Example:
1 Eurocent: 4
2 Eurocent: 8
5 Eurocent: 4
10 Eurocent: 25
20 Eurocent: 23
50 Eurocent: 7
1 Euro: 10
2 Euro: 2
Total Euro Face: EU25.00 (EU25 / .83 = $30.12)

Yes, I believe PPC has won the face value award every month this year but one if I'm not mistaken.
I believe he broke the $100 mark a couple times in the process!

I won April and Crock took October. I thought my $52 had a shot this month.
What happened PPC? Did you pick up ALL the Walnuts in October?
We need a new catagory...Most Nickels found.
Dock--105 Nickels is outstanding. I don't know what it is with me an nickels but there are some places that they just don't use them. Then there are certain areas where do pretty good with them. I don't get there to much. Do you find them pretty much everywhere you hunt?

I use the same program/settings most all the time. It is funny how my detector seems to get on a roll...and find only dimes, or nickels, or quarters.
If you make change for a dollar-- Most times you get 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 1 nickel. Odds against the nickel.
Fun Fun
