Ron,

Great finds there, I did not know they had dates on the Buffalos? At least not here in Iowa. I love how you placed the 1916 half dime in with the Nickels in the photo also. Makes you want to go back and find the other half to get the mint mark, Maybe it's better not knowing?

Great work and thanks for posting,

HH,

Dave

Sweet finds Ron. I can only imagine the look on your face when you read the date on that half Merc, and realized you will never know what the mint mark was

Excellent hunt and finds. Love the old Al Capone era coinage. Maybe he did lose some of his wealth there

Amazing amount of keepers there, Ron! That Barber is stunning but I think that hotel tag is awesome! I looked up the Sherman hotel and found the info very interesting...although you probably already know all this, I thought I'd post a link.

Cool finds, man! I always wonder what people do with those cut up coins though. Do you keep it? Melt it? Sell it for half-price? heh.
