Ahh that feeling of finding something you have not found before is the best. I am particularly pleased when I find one. I hit a pocket spill of wheats and two mercs and I was stoked. Great work n good luck keeping em coming.

Awesome! It took me 18 months to find my first Merc. When you read the posts online, it seems like people find them all the time, and I was glad to finally be in the club. I've found more since then, but that first one is still special. Congrats on your first - I'm sure there will be more to come.

Sometimes when you dig coins you get them in two different categories.

SS or Slightly Scratched

and

AG About Gouged

Happens to the best of us. Just glad it wasn't a 1916D!

Hope you find many many more in better condition!
