A Merc and a ?

[Merf]

Hunted a farm field today and found these.
That fertilizer [ammonia] is sure hard on coins.
I think this might have been an Indian head in it's better days.
Good huntiong to all.

Ouch.. that is in rough shape. I wonder if a peroxide bath will at least identify it.. but it looks like it may be too far gone. Nice job on the Merc!!

Merf, nice Merc there. Hope you're able to get some of that "time" off that other coin to see what it was.

Nice merc. Too bad about the IH...

Merf,
Very nice Merc. My eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be. Is it a 1920 I am seeing?
I'd be happy finding the other coin too. ANY old coin is exciting to find I think.

Thanks to all. I think the Merc is a 1920 MM but not sure. The Merc does not look near as good as the picture shows. Special lighting enhances the features.

Merf, Sorry but i'm seeing either a wheat or memorial as your second coin. Hope it does turn out to be a better coin for you. Good Luck.
