Old house hunt

[Larry (IL)]

Nancy and I have managed to get out a couple of times so far this year and have found a productive yard that is giving up a few goodies. This is what I found yesterday.

Very nice! You need to go back and hit that yard again. Any mintmark on the merc?

That's fantastic hunting, sounds like you've got you a nice little honey hole.
I'd get some string and grid that place out.

Nope, ,no mintmark

Yes, very nice finds. You did great Honey! Hopefully it will warm up soon and we can go hit it again!

Another trip back gives up some more goodies. The 1919-s merc is much better than the picture shows because it is still wet but grades out a solid XF-40.

 

[Nancy-IL]

Nice finds! But I could swear I found Abe Lincoln's pocket knife.

Oh wait, maybe it was his "ZINCOLNS".

One more trip back to the old house. 1917 merc, 1927 wheatie and a safety patrol service award badge.

Very nice 1919 Mercury dime. It might even go AU-50

Thanks, it would be close. I need to get a better picture to show it off. It is a little better on the obverse than photograde XF-45 but slightly less detail on the reverse. A pretty one for sure no matter how it's graded.

Yes, very nice finds Honey. I love that School Safety Patrol badge. Now that's a keeper in my book! The old Merc isn't bad either. Good thing someone found it and then "returned to owner". I'm ready to do it again!
