    Found these in 2hrs searching of a 5-gallon water cointainer.

    What might they be worth?? :-D

    Also, found-
    2-or-so rolls of Wheatbacks.
    A couple BU coins (Not sure about the U part) from the 60's.
    A clipped 1944 Wheatback.

    The first might be a capped die and the second is a huge cud, I would guess they are 20 dollar coins at least.

    The second IS a large cud, the first is not a die cap, it was struck BY a late stage capped die. Not the same thing. A die cap is the coin that sticks TO the die. The coin here was struck by the die while the die cap was still stuck to it. But it had already struck many coins and the cap was getting thin and starting to allow some of the design on the die to start showing through the cap.

    Right, I should have said capped die strike.
