1849-O half dime

[Missouri_John]

This is my belated Thanksgiving find. I found it in Cape Giarardeau at the old St Vincents Seminary that was built in the 1860's. The local university bought the seminary to use for their new river arts campus. I found the half dime in about 2 inches of excavated dirt on the site of the new theater
