Congratz on the bucket-lister. You are now no longer a "merc virgin". Pretty soon it will be your first barber dime. Then your first seated dime., etc..... Bucket listers will FLY PAST. Within 2 years, any gold coin NEWER than 1850, will bore you to tears !

Well then he can start looking for large cents.

Good for you Bob, it took me a year to find one. Then another a month later. I got one today! And it was in your back yard, very cool.

Got #2!! about 2 feet away from the 1st find yesterday. Also pulled 2 Rosies in the old overgrown driveway

Driveways are always good to hunt......reaching into your pocket for the house keys, things drops out of your pockets. Sit there for 81 years and you find it!!! Love this hobby.

My first silver was a Merc also, a 1923. Hope yours leads you to bigger and better things!
