Very cool 3/8 dime lol. Bummer that heel plate is broken. Those star plates do t show up often
Chris, very nice treasure trove of goodies, congratulations. I have seen 1800's firearms with the front sights replaced with a cut and fitted silver coin, maybe that was the intended purpose of this one? Happy hunting, Sub
Very nice finds WT! That half dime is just plain killer! Congrats on all of the goodies. GL&HH.
Tom,
The Farm next door is from that era also,Ritchie has plowed the fields there too for the first time in over 6 decades,you know where I'll be. A whole new trove of treasure!
That's why they put the lines on the rim, if one was missing it wasn't worth it's value so know one clipped them after that
