Nice silvers there. Is the capped bust a dime or half dime? A perfect spur is tough to find.

Killer finds. Great coins and that spur rocks. I would accidentally include the spur pic about once per month just to rub it in on the rest of us. We don't even want to talk about how long it has been since I got a good old silver. :icon_thumleft:

The coins are nice, but the real beauty is the spur. Seems like I have every piece of a spur imaginable, but not one that is complete. Yours is an excellent CW era example.

Cheers,

Buck
