'American Digger' Fans Rejoice

Spike TV has ordered 13 new episodes of 'American Digger' led by former professional wrestler-turned-modern-day relic hunter Ric Savage.
American Digger” will go into production this fall and new seasons will air in 2013.

About “American Digger”:

In the US, there are millions of historical relics buried in backyards just waiting to be discovered and turned into profit.  “American Digger” hopes to claim a piece of that pie as the series travels to a different city each week searching for high-value artifacts and relics, some of which have been untouched for centuries.  After pinpointing historical locations such as Civil War and Revolutionary War battlefields, Savage’s first task is to convince reluctant homeowners to let his team dig up their property using state-of-the-art metal detectors and heavy-duty excavation equipment.  The team will then sell any artifacts found for a substantial profit by consulting experts and scouring the antique and collectible markets, but not before negotiating a deal to divide the revenue with the property owners.

App That Calculates Coin Melt Values

A new free iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch app has been released by Coinflation.com (a division of Collectors Universe, Inc.). The app uses real-time metal prices to calculate the melt value of U.S. coins. This includes prices for all silver and base metal (copper, nickel, etc.) but not gold. The app is easy to use and the photos of the coins are spectacular. It also incorporates a calculator for scrap silver and gold that you may want to sell. Simple enter the total weight and fineness and the calculator will do the rest. Search for "Coinflation" in the App Store to read the reviews and get your copy.

1873 Dime Sold for $2 Million

A dime made in 1873 sold for nearly $2 million at an auction in Philadelphia.

The unique coin was minted in Carson City, Nev., during a one-day run of dimes.

An anonymous winning bidder paid $1.6 million for the pristine coin, plus a 15 percent buyer's fee.

The 1873-CC "No Arrows" Liberty Seated dime was auctioned during a convention of the American Numismatic Association.

It's part of the Battle Born Collection, which contained one of every coin minted in Carson City before the facility closed in 1893.
