Wo wo Wo hold the phone.. Your first silver was that!?! :jawdrop: a CAPPED BUST!?! those bullets are definetly modern though, no patina and just the wrong style for a civil war Minnie ball.

Yeah, shocking the first dime would be such. And, yeah, every bullet I pulled out of the ground from 1700's-1870 had the lead eaten away and white oxidation. Only the new ones with copper looked anything like those. Not sure if there are any war reinactment's there, granted someone could own a replica.
 
Wow, you found a Capped Bust Dime?!!!! We sure would like to see a photo of the obverse. That's an incredible find! :shocked04:
 
I got to go with the crowd here .... no teasing us with just one side of that old silver coin !

we want more ....we want more ...
