UPDATE! NGC coin grade has arrived...AU details Stained. 2662135-001

So tonight after work I grabbed the 3030 and braved the tick and fly infested forest that I enjoy hunting. I invested in a head bug net. Great purchase it worked very well. So I got to detecting and it wasn't to long before I got a nice silver hit. Dug this awesome 1800 draped bust dime. Wow! I can't stop looking at it. Was a few other flat buttons and what looked like a worn to the flat draped half cent copper.

You dirty lil devil you! That is a killer find Tony. Something I will hunt for until I conquer it. Very low mintage. We just never see these posted. Great score buddy. I may vote Banner tomorrow when I wake up. Glad I woke up to see this rarely found coin....awesome. I'll be dreaming about that thing in 8 minutes lol

Great looking silver and worth a nice chunk of change. Congrats on braving the biting little buggers to get this silver.

Sick find!! I'd kill to find that!! So beautiful, thanks for sharing. Cheers. Less than 22,000 minted for that year. Again, great find. Definitely worth several hundred dollars.

Great find Tony, BANNER all day. Not to be negative, but you need to post up some nice close ups for it to look even better up on the banner.

I will post some better pics tomorrow . I usually use my front window sill for perfect lighting. But it was dark when I got home. Just couldn't get a good focus up close.

I had to look at it for a bit, partially because the software turned it 90 degrees and partially because the picts make the front look like its a copper... :icon_scratch:

In any event - that is an unbelieveable find and with a good picture I'm sure the mods will put it up top! Congrats on what should be a banner find! :hello2:

Wow, not only quality but also a VERY low mintage coin! Considering that even at a bare minimum "net F--porous" grading, this would still be in the vicinity of a $2,000.00 coin, I'm nominating it for the banner up top! (And the details actually warrrant a higher grade!) Congrats!!
