Pretty disappointing. Only 36 coins, highest F12 (1894-S), A few VG8s and VG6s, the rest G4, AG3, FR2, by my inexpert grading of course. No exceptional dates, mostly 1900s. I haven't checked to see if there are any variations or oddities I should look for so if there are subtle things that could be found on these low graders, please chime in.

Maybe later I'll take a picture of a couple to double-check my grading. Pretty murky between those lowest grades.

You should make a list of years and grade. I noticed some years in the 1900's were actually pretty pricey. 1913, 1914, and 1915 are higher priced even in G-4.

I bagged and tagged each, grading as I went along, made a spreadsheet (trying to do that for everything). Didn't have time to take any pictures yet but I will try to later this week so I can see if my grading matches what you guys think. Of course, for most of them the decision was between ~FR02-G4, so it's not that critical. I like being as accurate as possible though.

My IHC spreadsheet is done. That was a really fun sorting since I don't think they had been examined by anyone until now-- some really good coins remained. I learned a lot as I went along and look forward to learning even more about those IHCs (and all the rest of the coins).

Your distribution of grades and dates is pretty representative of what has survived from this series. These coins were worked hard and performed their duties well.
Rest in Peace

Sounds like a fun project to me.
Remember most early 1900 O minted
coins bring a nice premium. The 05-O
especially.

I just paid stupid money for an 03-O in 45 CAC.
I bought a knock out 58 for less money 7 years
ago !!
