Hey guys, money shot of keeper pile from 2018.
On the whole, total finds were on the low side, hope during 2019 I find more time to get out and some felix pennies to door knock!

Totals were

(21) silver coins
Highlights were my first SLQ, 1920 D in amazing shape, and a Key Date 1901 S Barber Dime. Its pretty toasty but a key date all the same

(53) wheat's

(1) Buff and IH. The Indian is an 1867 and is my oldest dated coin

Finally a gold ring after 5 years and my first gold item in 4 years.

Thanks Dew, not sure how I feel about the grading process. The grade came back as “Harshley Cleaned - AU detail” even though the microscopic scratches were from the ground not anything I did. So it didn’t get a technical grade.

Ya thanks for sugar coating the grade lol.

If they would exchange the word harsh for maybe aggressively cleaned it may have gone a bit better . Sounds common with dug coins .
That's why I am afraid to send one in.
It might come back saying AU but likely cleaned with a cutting torch and toilet bowl cleaner. 😳
Either way a fine addition to anyone trying to fill in some holes in a collection.
Congradulations again . She is beutiful no question about it.

Good luck in 2019
