I smiled all the way home!!!! Found it (1944) and the brass latch thingy at the same site where I found the 1803 copper.

WOOT!!!! I feel so cool! Like I'm in the cool kids club now! Can I be? Can I Huh? Huh?

WOW... I made it! To quote Sally Field "You like me! You really like me!"

 

[Bayou Joe]

Congrats on that Merc, they are addictive

 

[twoauers]

good job, well done

Annie! The Draped Bust far, far out-weighs the Merc dime! Many never find a Draped Bust cent...Mercs (or winged liberty dimes as they are really known as) as are a relatively commonplace find. Regardless.....congrats!!

 

[recentlycured]

Great finds!

Congrats on the Merc Annie, but the 1803 Draped Bust Cent is what put you in the Kool Kids Klub!

 

[Potts]
