Went to an estate sale a while back and got 198 wheat cents and a silver dime for $15. Could have gotten the wheat cents a bit cheaper since I bought a bag of 50 for $5 and came back the next day and got the rest half off. Organized them by date and mint in the picture. Oldest was 1909.
I think you did well. A nice group of coins for your collection. I especially like the 1950-S Lincoln. Bruce
Some of my favorites that I got. Since I love history and particularly military history I was happy to get a ww1 era coin, which was the first ww1 era item I owned. Funnily enough a week later I got a ww1 canteen cup with the same date at a yard sale.
