Capped Bust Dime + Mercs

[angellionel]

Today I was able to get in about four hours of detecting, spending my time at three MA sites which are relatively close to each other. The first site yielded a beautiful 1821 Capped Bust dime and a 1926 mercury dime. I had to leave the site soon after digging the merc, since it was getting much too busy. :rolleyes: I then headed to the second location where I dug up a 1942 mercury dime and a neat sterling silver ring. Finally before heading home I stopped at the third site, and from there I picked up a 1916 and 1944 mercury dime.

She sure is beautiful! :smitten: It's my second Capped Bust dime this month. :cheesysmile:

It's that supposed to be Bambi on the ring? :confused: I'm not quite sure about the second marking. It appears to be cwop or owop.

The ring is actually silver. The seeming flaking is actually Bambi's paint job peeling off. :yes:

The rain has helped for sure. The ground at many of the sites I hunt had been turning dry and powdery, so a little moisture didn't hurt. :thumbsup01:

Sweet looking Bust dime. That one is an 1821 Large Date variety. Two in one year would be a great accomplishment, but one month?? :shocked04: :shocked04: I didn't even notice anything else you found :lol: Nice hunt!!

Actually, Angel, the Bambi ring is your best find of the day. It's from the 1950's and worth between $35 and $75 depending on condition! Disney produced sterling rings of all the cartoon characters in the 50's.
