Coin shop finds

I spent a couple hours at a shop yesterday. The owner of the shop decided to go to an appointment only arrangement
a year or so ago.
He may lose a little business because of it but it is much nicer. We spent two hours talking about coins, fishing, gardening and whatever
else came up. It was a dramatic difference from the days when people were constantly walking in for one reason or another.
He enjoys it much more as well.
I even had time to look through some boxes as we talked!! In the past it was so hurried, I never spent much time looking
through his inventory.
Here's the haul. Some I did well on, others maybe not. These are all raw. It was well worth the visit though.

I had it pegged as a quarter but I don't know.

Dealer can operate as he sees fit - OP enjoyed himself and nice bought coins too. Why the negativity?

Odd that you wish he goes out of business.

As a collector - I will buy from (almost) anyone if they have what I seek.

Just nice collectible coins.
The pics were through 2x2's so not as good as I'd hoped. Just too lazy to remove them on this dreary, rainy, day.
If I could get just one, it would be the 1807 half.
It is frustrating when you don't get to spend the quality time you'd like with a dealer.

Hoard the keys.
edited to add: Informed by the OP that what I though was filing around the rim nick obv. 1:00 is reflection from a 2X2. At very small cost to my ego (I suck at photo interpretation) someone doesn't lose money. I can work with that
