Quick Trip Back To The Mill

[rod-pa]

I had a chance to get back to an old mill during lunch break this week.  I decided to work a steep bank that was partially man-made from cutting a more gradual ramp into the hillside for the wagons to pull the grains to the top of the mill around the back of the house.  Swinging on an angle like that..really weird.  I like flat and level, i have decided.  However...going to have to go back and keep working it.  Got a pair of wheats to start, then these two.  Also a thimble, but it was just brass, and homeowner took that one to clean up because she collects them.

And, i must say, when I saw the quarter was a 13, and could make out a mintmark on the back.....i was about to hyperventilate until I saw it was a D.  You guys in California dodged one again.

Happy Hunting

And to add insult to injury, there were about 3 times as many -D's as plains (no mintmark so stamped in Philadelphia) -- the latter should have been your most likely version since you're on the East Coast, close the Philly and 1800(?) miles from Denver!  Still a nice looking coin.

Is the copper a half cent or large cent?  Can you make out the date (I can't).

Once again your keen imagination to determine the hot spots pays off.

Looks like 1835. Great coins!

thinking it may be this one: 👍

It is a large cent, but I will try to pick at it once it soaks a bit.

 

I think F350 is right on the type though

Great finds, and I hope they both clean up for you.

Good luck on your next outing.
