    I bought a 5,000 count bag of wheaties off BudGood and they came in yesterday. Anyhow I had to share some pics of the 1852 Three Cent Silver that I found in the bag. Its my first 3 cent silver and I paid 5 cents for it. Not bad huh??? Ive always wanted one of these.

    That is a cool find. Maybe that bag really was unsearched.

    I had better finds than that but the 3 cent nickel was by far the coolest find. I found a few Flying eagles and almost a rolls worth of Copper Nickel Indians. And some of the other indians were better dates. But I bought the bag hoping for early better date wheaties and I was happy with what I found there too. It was a nice bag.

    Uneven wear but a nice strong date. I'd go easy VG on that one.
    Nice find. Tiny little buggers aren't they?

    You probably know this, but for anyone who doesn't the nickname of the 3-cent silver piece was "fish scales" because of their small size and how thin they are.

    Oh I was really surprised how small it is, almost as surprised as I was by finding it.
