I'd say congrats, you walked away with two old coins and a relic ;) By the way, I like how you chronicle your slabs, by date and qty#. I at least have the year mine were found, but the special ones and firsts I put the whole dates on those. Yeah, there probably are a lot of people that don't slab their wheats and other coins that aren't considered rare keepers...they probably just throw them in a jar or whatever...but I slab all mine no matter what. If I find a wheat penny in my change from the store I don't think of it the same as when I might dig the same date and quality penny from the dirt.

I don't know about you, but I find 5 or 6 spoons for every fork I find, and I've never found a knife. Wonder why that is. But your spoon caught my eye because the last spoon I found was the same Belfry pattern. Keep at it!
