simba86 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 08/21/2011 12:44 pm i went to the flea market and bought a bunch of empty witman folders and coin albums, I brought them home and picked up a album marked us coin type set small coins and opened it, empty (or so I thought) I started to fill the album up and I tilted it alittle off to one side and saw a small coin peak out from behind the paper that is over the cardboard, I then ripped the paper off and a 1832 capped bust Half Dime fell out! and I'm like YAHOO! so I tilt and shake that thing like crazy and I see anouther little coin peak out! so I rip into the book some more and out came a 1844 o Seated Liberty half dime! and I'm like they had been pushed back into the paper by the plastic sliders, how awsome it that!?then I got my metal detector out just to be sure I got them all!
