>nuggets are NOT common here. Basically never happen in the Leadville area on the surface. So that native silver nugget is an extremely rare thing for our area, and gets my heart pumping a little.

>the silver is pretty well flattened and rounded by tumbling, but the fact that the soft rock is still there indicates to me that it didn't travel far. Probably not the several miles to the nearest known silver mine.

Yeah, that sure sounds and looks like special piece! Do I see silver crystals that were protected from erosion in the recess in the middle of the left half? I bet that to the right person your nugget is worth enough of a premium to give IQDELET an instantaneous aneurysm. The source of that piece is clearly worth your continued searching, good luck! I'd like to hunt for chunks of silver that fell off the stamp/crushing mill conveyor lines of copper/silver mines up in Michigan, or metal detect the Ontario silver mine dumps for chunks of uber high-grade, but Leadville is a lot closer to me so sniffing around your area in hopes of an ore specimen for the collection is probably the way to go, have you heard of any mine dumps that are still accessible/not reclaimed where actual native silver might possibly be found?

>I'll be more discerning next time.
Live and learn anon, it's still cool looking and the teeth themselves are real but yeah, ya gotta be careful about fakes in more than just coins. They make cast plastic trilobites slapped on real matrix stone and other things too, yours is legit but get into the rare fancy stuff and scammers will always be waiting to take advantage of people.

Was the coral a personal find?

>injecting the metals rich material into the rock and quickly hardening into new rock
Thanks PanChad, so is it speculated that the veins of pure native copper in Michigan or Silver in Ontario were formed basically the same way?

>I actually have $137 fv, just need more ammo cans and to get them put in paper rolls.
Dang, that's great anon. When i was a retarded teen I deposited about $50 of copper cents from the 70s in the bank, incidentally also stored in an ammo can. Still workin' on gettin' them stacks back up.

>I've never bought Morgan dollars or any half dollars until now.
Old coins are primo, how do you like them now that you have some in-hand?
