More Pre 1900 coins from sidewalk tearout.

[bk]

The construction crew finally removed the sidewalks from the other side of the street. They did the first phase a couple weeks ago. That section now has a new sidewalk.
All the coins were from before 1900. The only silver I found was a stinking 1917 Mercury dime. (Now don't get me wrong. Mercury dimes are good to find except when all the other coins are from the 1890's and earlier). This dime was probably lost the last time they worked on the sidewalks.
My detecting buddy found the only "good" silver. An 1876 Seated quarter.
My take from this site was:
1- unidentifed token.
1-two cent piece - 1865.
3 Shield nickels - 1867, 1868, and 1872.
1 Liberty nickel - 1887.
12 - Indianhead cents. 1862 (copper nickel), 1883, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1894, 3-1895's, 2-1896's, and the newest coin (except for the Mercury dime). 1897.

Just talked to BK on the phone, the sidewalk produced another seated quarter and a seated half dollar! Pester him for the pictures of these beautiful coins.

%&$#*! old Mercs. I hate it when they get in the way.

Fantastic finds! You are really lucky to have found a town where common sense is still thriving.

Now let's see that half.
