Liberty Cap Half Dime found at Colonial Cellar Hole

[Caps and Bottles]

Went to cellar hole today that I have been to several times over last couple years. Cellar hole had produced allot of nice buttons but no coins for me in the past. First couple hrs found nothing to speak of, then decided to go back up to the hole itself and went in between some small scrub brush and got a nice signal. When I initially dug at signal I pulled a square nail and figured that must have been it, then I swung at hole again and right off to the side I saw the small silver and that just made my day. Also found a flat button with no markings and a small clip type item.

OMG, that is beautiful. I do not know if I will ever have the oppurtunity to dig something like that where I am, (Utah). So all you folks that live in the earliest (white folk) inhabitated areas, be thankful.

Very nice find, congrats.

Excellent find - Is it my imagination or are there signs of a clashed die on the reverse? That might add a little more to the value. I think I see some outlines of the bust on the reverse. Congrats.

Very nice! Great detail!

 

[Caps and Bottles]

Thxs everyone for the nice replys. The macro lens on the camera has to take some of the credit for showing the detail on that tiny coin though. Next goal will be to find a 1700s silver
