Been a few weeks since I have been out so I made some time this past weekend to go back to the Chicago park I have been hunting recently. Spent a few hours there Saturday and Sunday mornings. On Saturday I found 2 Mercs both dated 1925 that are on the opposite ends of the condition spectrum. One is sharp with full bands and the other is worn and at one time had been stamped or crushed in something that left a circular impression. Looks like old Mercury has a set of headphones on! Sunday yielded a 51D Rosie. Total wheats for the two morning hunts totaled 15 with dates of 14, 19(2), 20(3), 23, 23D, 28S, 36(2), 37, 40D, 48D, and 49.

Congratulations on the silver and all the wheats! 1919 must be a common year. I've found several 1919 lately as well.
