Worst 1/2 Real ever!

[Ia.FurTrade]

Well, I finally got out in the fields a couple of times this week. Slim pickings as they drilled the beans in with absolutely NO tilling! (Me & my hunting buddy must have really cleaned 'em last Fall & Spring!)
The small silver coin next to the LC is totally slick but is the same size as a 1/2 Real.........:cry: Can't get any worse than that!
This isn't all the musketballs....I found 3-4 more.Only two decent buttons .......the little flower button is marked " K & Co." ( Kendrick & Co. from 1830's)
The other item is a tiny "Goldstone" stud still with it's spring loaded back on it. It is gold plated.

I got a couple of those slick 1/2s. Also having the same problem of farmers doing no till. That stinks! At least you go the large cent and some other keepers.

My Dad Got one just like a week ago! It was the same way too though! Farmers aren't tilling but they are drilling which is annoying.But its their land! They can do whatever on it!

Slick silver is not all that uncommon (I've dug several), but silver is silver. Nice going!

at least it's silver! Was probably lost in the 1850s after decades in circulation. Better than a pull tab!

That's what they call it here in Iowa........In the Spring the farmer doesn't till the picked cornfield...........just plant the beans into the cornstocks.
