Took the dogs for a hike this morning and stopped by my favorite site. Went there last week and got a large cent and a king George. Today was thinking I need some silver and I got it 1796 half dime. Also pulled this nice 1802 large cent and a few buttons. Thanks for looking.

The half dime is in great shape except the hole. I think the dogs were my luck today. I always find the good stuff when they're around. They are still pups so it can get tough when they don't always listen and I gotta go look for them. Thanks for the comments.

AWSOME! Do my eyes see it right? It's the "LIKERTY" variety. And 15 stars. Can you give us a bigger close up picture?
