16 - 1800's Coins

Hit an old Agricultural Fair Grounds (1866-1900). This is now a field which was in beans this year. The old gentleman (80) who lived across the road said it had been hit hard over the years. Grounds consisted of 15 acres. Managed to find 4 seated dimes (1850,1855,1874,1876) 1 two cent piece 1865, 2 shield nickels 1868's and 9 Indian Head Pennies(1859,1864,1875.2-1876,1884,1888,189?,1905. These were found with a CZ-3D. Thanks for looking fair ground coins 2.JPG
