Six hrs of hunting and my wish list just got shorter. I thought it was a half reale when it first came out. Looking at it in the sunlight for the first time I realized that Carolus was not looking to good, but man lady liberty was smiling back, wow. 1801 Drapped Half Dime. Its my first. My buddy Jay had permission for the field. He was there last year to witness my second gold coin in 1 month on his new site. I hope he doesn't stop inviting me... A 1777 1 reale and the 1900 o Barber Half dollar followed. Cant wait to get back on this field. Art

Fantastic find Art :thumbsup: Welcome to the Draped Bust silver club :hello:

This is an obvious Banner, but I will put my vote in just in case. The Banner Gods are very fickle.

Damn that coin is incredible! It takes a lot to really grab my attention. That coin certainly did the job. Draped silver is very high on my long list of wants. Congrats on a once in a lifetime find
