Barbers-Mercs-Chinese coins

[Ron (CA)]

Got these out of an old Chinese District basement. (dirt floor) Then picked one up in the park.

10 Chinese coins
4 barbers
2 merc
Buff (23)

The coins had a nice crust on them. Since they were not key dates, I got pretty aggressive and "Cleaned" them up. Got a 1916 S Merc and a 1916 S Barber in the same day!! That Merc had me going for a while!!

The old newspaper was tacked to the floor joists. You could still read parts of it. June 1910.

SE got most of them with the 5" coil, but I did pick out a few with the F75 and the 4" Place is loaded with iron. Will have to go back and rake more or sift.

Nice finds Ron. I hunted with a guy a few days ago who used an F75 sometimes too. He loves his and goes back and forth between it and his SE.

you might want to bring a good magnet if the iron is loose...
