Good Day

[Kim - PA]

Hey everyone
Here are todays finds. I found the horseman & my friend found the half dime. I think the horseman was on a base at one time. If anyone has any idea as to how old it might be let me know. I think the half dime is in pretty good condition but I wouldn't know how to grade it, what do you all think? My friend also found a 1940 Merc & a 1943 quarter. Another guy that was with us found an 1831 Large cent & a small canon ball. Between the three of us we found 17 wheat pennies. So all & all not a bad day.

Nice finds there Kim. That is a 100.00 dime easily. Leave it black the way it is. You did a nice job of keeping the patins nice and even on the coin.

Congrats HH Jer

Kim, great finds. I believe your friends half dime is in Extreamly Fine (EF) condition. It would need to have some of the orignial luster to be classified as AU and I believe I can see a little wear on the high spots. A really really nice coin find. By the way, love the horse and rider...Congrats...Lance

COOL Horseman KIM ;

?I take it,
? ? ? ? ? ? ?it Is LEAD ?

? ?Would Be Hard to Date Unless it Has Markings, Which were Probably on the Bottom of the Base If it had one or on The Belly Of the Horse If NOT.

You can be Fairly Confident it's Pre 60's tho.

? ? ? ?CONGRATS !

Kim, I looked this coins up in my red book and am amazed at how small they are. He has a really nice coin there. I like the horseman, too.

Thanks everyone for your comments on the half dime my friend is very pleased to have found something in the ground for so long and sill be in such good condition, he has found a couple of walking liberty quarters that the dates are pretty worn so when he read the replies to my post he was very pleased.

Jeff I believe the horseman is lead, there is no markings on the bottom of the horse so it must have been on the stand which must be in another hole that I missed (ha ha). It was painted the pants were yellow/gold, the shirt was red and his gun was green. I don't know if the colors came thur on the pic.

Thanks again to all for the great replies, it makes a good day even better when you can share your finds with friends.
