Nice haul, hollowpoint, love the Merc and the IH. That little locket is pretty sweet too. As always, wheats are nice as well.

I remember my parents telling me a that IH's were still circulating occasionally into the 40's & 50's. Instead of abruptly disappearing from change, they just sort of tapered off as people started keeping them ;)
