Large cent & a nice Merc

Hi All,

Found these two on Monday. After the first light cleaning, I thought the large cent was a Liberty Cap type, as I could swear I saw the triangular shaped bonnet at the back of her head. Unfortunately, when I got the dirt off, that bonnet was not there at all, revealing a worn, corroded, no date Draped Bust type large cent. Oh well, it's still a large cent- my 20th, so I'm happy with that.

The Merc is a 1924 and my pic doesn't come close to doing it justice. It's a razor sharp AU and it's frosty white.

HH All.

Jeff

The Merc reverse looks like it's "full bands"!! You might want to have someone take a look at that. The only one that is questionable is the middle band. Beautiful coins. Great find! Wish I had your luck. HH

Congratulations, great looking merc. I'm still looking for my first. I'm so jealous. I've bought some but it's just not the same.
