My First Bust Coin!

[dano7]

Hi all! I generally do not post much. But this is my oldest U.S silver coin I have ever found. I had to share it! I have been hunting Indian artifacts in this field for years, I just got permission to metal detect it too! I dug a lot of trash at first, some old buttons. Then I got that signal, popped the plug and saw it was a silver coin, I said “please don’t let it be Spanish”. I am very happy with the shape it’s in, no plow damage! I hope it has some friends.

Awesome find!!!!......nice job just gently rinsing it and not polishing it to death, I cringe when I see people do that and it leaves a mess of hairline scratches too.

I would be absolutely proud to have that coin in my collection!!!

Keep up the great work!!

oh, and Banner?.........no doubt about it.

HH all!!

I was fortunate, several years ago, to find an 1831 Bust Half; it had very fine details, but was corroded a bit. Yours is an incredibly beautiful coin! Congrats on the find and the banner!
