1831 Capped Small Dime....FABULOUS!!!!

[DannyBrooks]

Woo Hoo. This is the first way cool coin that I have found. Natually I assumed it was a buttton and then saw a bit of bling.....then looked at the date....1831....10c amazing. Relatively low mint strike of 700K, I think, ....and in amazing condition. What do you think Buckle Boy?....you were right.

Thanks...you all are awesome. The reason that I assumed it was a button...is because I found about 15 in that exact spot the day before...kind of funny.

I agree with Bootstrap...it looks like it was dropped outside the front door of the mint !!

Sweet find !!

Looks like a keeper to me. I've been detecting since 1982 and I'm still looking for my first Bust.

Nice capture...the buttons around it might had protected it from corrision, like a umbrella. Did you clean it? Anyhow...HH

 

[DannyBrooks]

I wiped it clean using a dry paper towel. Is that okay? or should I just do nothing at all?

Shame your super find was at one time a possible piece of a chain/necklace because the coin is definately in good shape. Love those Bust coins(found two last year) because they are a hard find, especially the further west you go!! Anyways, sweet find and congrats!!

I'm sure if you stick a couple of holes in it, it would make a great button

That's an awesome coin. Way to go.

Silver doesn't corrode. And as far as oxidation goes, there is no good way to clean that off. Depends on the soil conditions as to what you get.
