Scavenging Copper

So, the wife was out, the kids were occupied and I had nothing else to do on a dreary looking Saturday morning, so I thought I'd go out and do some copper scavenging at the local. Well after two hours of digging through box after box of low and medium grade coins I finally came up with these two beauties.





I don't think I did too badly, I'm just on the fence about the 62, it's either a XF45 or an AU50 and I can't decide which one.

How much did you pay? I like the obverse toning on the 27, and the 1862 looks about AU55 to me.

 

The local WHAT? Bank? Wal-Mart? School playground?

Inquiring minds want to know where one can scavenge great coins like that.

 

those are some nice looking coins

 

i'm guessing local coin shop.

 

yeah, the local coin shop, $3 for the Lincoln $32 for the Indian.

 

Two nice Coins for a Saturday outing. Well done! Now if someone had not taken my last $35.00 bucks I might have done the same.

 

Very nice finds!!!

 

Oh I would have been all over that Lincoln for $3!! Very nice!
