Hello ALL!

I've not been out much over the last week +... and starting next Tuesday I'll be heading out on the road with a few stops over three weeks... Wichita, Houston, San Antanio, Tulsa, Salt Lake City, and Mesquite...

Anywho... I got in 90 minutes tonight and nabbed a few keepers... oh yeah the wheat penny on the left... change from my coffee :-) (its a '44)

This LC is in rough shape... but I can See a 1 at the end... its a Cornet Head and the next to last digit's bottom was rounded to the right... like a 5 or a 3... So it has to be an 1831... This is my 15th Large Copper for the year...

This dime suprised me twice... 12/42 @ 4-5 right next to the side walk...

I was suprised to see silver pop out... and the beck was visable... I said nice its a Barber... then I turned it over... Suprise! (Silver # 95)

The dime is beautiful. Right now I only dream of finding something like that. :rolleyes:

Nice score on the wheat. I was buying my daughter's halloween costume tonight and was behind an elderly woman at the cash register... I over heard her say to the clerk, do you mind if I give you $10 in coins. Curious, I watched her pull a plastic bag out of her purse wondering if it was going to be all silver.... it wasn't. :) I was certainly ready to offer her much more than face value if it was.

Anway... another nice hunt you had there. Congrats.
