1801 Draped Bust Dime dug in worn condition

[SC Keith]

Got a call from my buddy, Calabash Digger, who invited me to one of his former hot spots. After hunting for an hour or so and just getting sparse finds, I got a nice signal on the Deus and dug this dime. It is so worn that we both thought is was a Spanish Reale until I got it home and saw it was an early US dime. There were only 34,000 of these minted.
Thanks for looking!

Nice. An American silver coin that old gets my BANNER vote. Congrats.

Our hearts bleed for the *poor* east coast guy. Who (sob) had to contend with a "worn" bust coin. (Oh how horrible )

Dang man, that is a killer find.

I’m a coin guy and that is a banner find in my mind. You just don’t see these often, I think it would look good up top.

Its always a bummer to find worn early silver that circulated for many decades but I would be a lot less bummed out if it was Draped Bust

 

[IDXMonster]

Early US silver is pretty hard to come by anywhere,that’s a great find and a BANNER all day! Just amazing you even found it,I assume Calabash will be enjoying a free dinner?

 

[dirtlooter]

wow, such an awesome coin and found with an awesome friend, looks like a win win deal to me. I'd have to say Banner too!

Way to go Keith. I don't think I have seen one of these posted ever.
You and Calabash Digger have been on some really good early sites lately.

 

[Calabash Digger]

Lucky sucker cut right in front of me and got that coin! Just kidding great find.

 

[against the wind]

It may be worn but the date is clear as day.
Congrats on a real rare piece of Silver.
