Capped Bust Dime, Coppers, Mercs

[angellionel]

This afternoon I drove back to the park I worked yesterday and completed a grid I had left unfinished. I was rewarded with two more silver coins, one of them a very nice old one. After completing the grid I moved to another section of the park and picked up two more silver dimes and two large cents.

What is that peeking through the soil? :cheesysmile:

Two Draped Bust large cents, but badly corroded. :crying02: I'll take them though. :cheesysmile: They bring my copper count for the year to 26. :happydance01:

Congratulations on another great hunt. That bust dime must have been dropped not long after it was minted. :peace:

[hockeyguy]

She's a beauty :thumbsup01:
Congrats on all the finds :grin:
Even the badly corroded LC's :yes:

[randy]

Oh my, that's beautiful. Full liberty, full lines on the shield, and a good hair day to boot. CONGRATS! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

[Beefcake]

Seems like those always seem to come out of the ground in such good shape.... Man, I want one of those soooo bad!! Awesome finds!

[dave in iowa]

Wow , again

[z118]

That dime is an absolute fantasy... I can't even imagine. Congrats!

[catskillcomics]

I'm with Beefcake, I want one so bad as well!!!! Great hunt as usual Angel..

[milco]

Very nice, don't see nice bust dimes like that real often, that's a gem!

[coinnut]

My, My, My, she's a beauty :envious: I'm glad you didn't find her on my day :lol: Your starting to put us colonial hunters to shame ;) Beautiful condition. I checked for rare dates and there are none in 1827, but still a high priced dime :happydance01: Who cares about the rest of the stuff found :rofl: Just kidding, nice old coppers too.

[Epi-hunter]

It is a beauty Angel. Congratulations!!

Like I said, there should be some weighting scale to your number of silvers found, so this one could count for something like five. :lol:

I would love to find one of those.

[coinnut]

Yep, Roosies count for 1, Mercs get 2, Barbers get 4, Seated get 8, and Capped bust get 40 ;) That's how rare it is to find a Capped. I've found 2 and it's usually years before I get another one

[angellionel]

Thanks everyone! That baby had me smiling the rest of the day. :lol:

It's funny because I found it on the grounds to the left of that small fence, not far at all from where I had been gridding and finding the other silver this past Wednesday. :yes: Had I just moved a little more to the side it would have been in my pouch that day. :cheesysmile: :lol:

You are probably right. :lol: I already have her protected in a 2X2 cardboard. :smitten: She beats by a wide margin the one I found in 2007. :yes:

Congrats Angel!!

That's a rare one even for you. How many of those have you found over the years?? Congrats again on a great looking Bust dime.

[Cheap Thrills]

A great find Angel and in incredible shape . :thumbsup01: :thumbsup01: I got one once and the only digging I had to do was in my wallet . :lol: I'm thinking that here on the West Coast gold coins show up with more frequency than a Caped Bust .

[SeabeeRon]

I know this word gets overused sometimes, but...AWESOME!!!! :drool: :loveit: That coin just POPS!!! :cool:

[angellionel]

During the past few years I have found just one other Capped Bust dime, dated 1821, but it is very, very worn. I also found a nice looking 1836 Capped Bust half dime back in 2005. :yes:
