    YES! 1st(probably last) HALF DIME 1795

    By far my best coin today. Decent shape to boot! Found some other cool stuff too- trigger guard, another 41st of Foot officers button-but this blows everything else away.

    Re: YES! 1st(probably last) HALF DIME

    Thanks guys, I haven't done anything to it yet except rinse it. Whats the best way to get the rest of the dirt out left in the hair, around the stars, etc. without scratching? Or just leave it?
