I have been doing research on a major road reconstruction project in a town that dates back to the 1820's.The project is expected to go through the downtown area sometime soon. I decided that this would be a good weekend to check on the progress.
I was a little too early in my timing. They had the streets dug up, but they had already put in the gravel. They had not taken out the sidewalks yet though. :'(
All I could find was one Indianhead cent, but at least it was a better date. :)
Here is the pic of the only keeper coin I found.

Sweet coin, BK! ....and I don't see any gouges in it.... ;) :D
Ha Ha.
Since I usually do scratch coins, I'll show you one that I did put a scratch on.

Haha, I thought we were past the days of harming Indians in our society! Shame on you!

Haha, but I have done the same thing to many oh wheats... I've killed Lincoln many times this year alone!
 

BK, I've driven further for less. Nice IH. 8)
Ouch! Even the best can slip and gouge. That hurts, especially a full Liberty 1866. :'(
