Cool batch of finds!! How big is the lincoln?
Can you put a 1 cent next to it for size comparison?

Smiles!

I think it was a souvenir from Lincolns home in Springfield IL. It is quite large. LOL
Here is the comparison.

Ok... thanks for posting the new pic. Wow, yep, it's a big lincoln.
I found one too, but yours is a bit larger for sure. It's a great souvenier.

Some pretty cool finds

You don't need a detector to find goodies sometimes. I especially like the 1 Centavo from the Philippines.

Great coins. I've been so determined to find something MD'n that I haven't even paid attention to other ways of finding the good stuff. A friend of mine died a few years ago and his mom live in Cali. and told a few of us at the funeral to come back to the house (which was originally his great granparents house). When we got there she said she was selling it and told us to take anything we wanted. I found a small box with some old coins and stamps in it. If I can find it, I'll post them if they are worth it. I also acquired a bunch of stuff that I have yet to look through when my granddad died.
Congrats on the finds and thanks for sharing.
