    Very nice collection. I like the way you displayed them in the pictures too.

    Thanks for the post to honor our vets.

    Great finds and a great post.

    I don't have the words to express the gratitude I feel for those who have fought to defend all that we have here.

    Amen, what a neat idea... Yes, thank you to our veterans. The American is waving proudly on our front porch in honor.

    I really like your collection and how you took the pics. Think it would be nice to see more military/patriotic items others have found as well. Here's a few of mine:










    Oldest silver-- 1838o seated dime (no stars)
    Oldest copper-- 1820 LC
