Inconceivable! 1820 Capped Bust Dime in amazing condition!

[Tommy G]

Last week I ticked the Trime off my bucket list. Yesterday, I returned to an 1838 home site that I explored last year where I recovered my first seated quarter and dime, and about 15 other silver coins. About two hours into the hunt, I got a solid 80 on the AT Pro, and try as I might, it stayed locked in at 80 no matter the direction. Because it was only showing 2 inches deep, I would have bet it was going to be a bottle cap - but, man was I surprised! Amazing detail on this beauty. Tick another one off the bucket list!






A three day weekend with mild temps ahead here in Virginia, so I will be out pounding more sites. Thanks for viewing the post, and good luck to all!

Thanks, MMJ. It must be open season on cap bust dimes. Congrats on a great find! It you missed it, look back in the string to find a link that Barker posted on the history of these dimes. Interesting reading. Looks like you have the post 1828 version.

Buddy if mine was the rare curl base 2 variety I'd be ahead one semester of college for one of my kids.

Just by coincidence, I had just pulled out a 1929 Merc prior to this coin. I was on cloud 9 after the capped bust, and was expecting everything after that to be more silver. The streak ended with two wheat cents. Believe me, I didn't complain!

Thanks again, Scrappy. A nice trime and this capped bust in the last 7 days. I just wish I could figure out what I'm doing right so I can be sure to keep on doing it!
