Hit a yard sale yesterday. For $20, I got:
2 near-complete folders of Mercury & Roosie silver dimes (1 each)
1 half-complete folder of Buffalo nickels (with the 1920's key dates)
1 folder with random IHCs, including an 1875 and 1864 CuNi
A bag of assorted wheats, which happened to include: 3x 1909 VDBs (1 unc), 1x 1848 LC, 1x 1852 CA gold token, 1867 Shield nickel (no rays), 3 loose Buffalo nickels, 10 Liberty Head nickels (4 from 1800s; 1x 1884)
A bag of about 50-60 silver dimes, which happened to include: a loose 1934-D Merc, 13x Barber dimes, 1x 1857 Seated (XF-AU!)
I merged the Merc, Rosie, & Buffalo dime folders into my collection along with the Unc 1909 VDB. The rest are going on eBay or into my junk silver jar. I don't think the person really knew what they had, or didn't have time to sort it out.
Oh well, lucky for me!
EDIT: I'm looking through the Mercs now. I got a number of key dates in that folder; the following have mintages of less than 10M: 1917-D, 1919-D, 1924-D, 1925-D, 1926-DS, 1927-DS, 1928-DS, 1930, 1931, 1934-D, 1937-S, 1938-DS
From the Buffalo nickels, I got the following key dates (mintages under 10M): 1919-S, 1920-DS, 1923-S, 1925-DS, 1926-D, 1927-S, 1928-DS, 1929-DS, 1937-DS, 1938-D.
I'm not sure if there are any semi or key date Roosies yet, since every year they made 7 figures or better. Good haul though, overall.
