    For what you did find, those are some very nice coins. A seated and then a Barber half would make me get out and swing. Huge congrats on those keepers

    Great finds, Congrats. I found a token just like the one you got. Its for a laxative. On the other side is a kid sitting on a toilet, with a caption saying something like (All going out nothing coming in.).
