Recently hunted a Colonial era house. Someone had obviously hunted there before me, as I saw evidence of fresh plugs. But they missed these beauties, all of which were found in a ten foot radius. I have found three Draped Bust LCs in my short career, but this one is in the nicest shape. The Mercury is a 1919D, but it has seen better days.

Congrats on pulling those 3 keepers. :occasion14: It's always extra special when you pull quality coins from a previously hunted site. :thumbsup:

Very nice finds. The LC is just killer. Some of Vino's luck must have rubbed off onto you! Best of luck.

Sometimes the best is saved for last, soup and bottom feeding both can be very satisfying, nice going on the coinage.

Congrats on the great finds! That Draped Bust LC is in amazing shape- probably the best I've seen posted.
