🥇 BANNER 1805 HalfDime??

[BiggusDiggus]

So planned on running some errands then hitting a known spot for some morning detecting...Errands got thwarted so decided to drive a bit hopfully find a spot to hit for and hour or two til i could finish my errands...Happened upon a home construction site with some older looking stonewalls, asked the workers if they minded and they did not..So, coi to soil and were gettin some old shotshells horse/ox shoe halfs, foil...and bang clean 81 at 2"? thinkin some modern change i can see the rim of it on the surface..huh...what 1805?Intally thought it was a quarter but no 25 mark..so im assuming its a half dime?? I cant believe it still..if its legit i think today was a good day....

That is a great find, we don't see Draped Bust silver posted very often, and that one is in great shape. I've been casting a lot of Banner votes lately. This one also gets a vote!

Incredible find! Congrats!

 

[Z.K.]

Holy smokes! Talk about seizing an opportunity. May be the find of a lifetime (though hope it isn't )

I hope that this find, and the shilling/Guinea from yesterday, aren't excluded from banner in favor of relics, in pursuit of an artificial picture of balance. Fingers crossed

[Mach1Pilot]

No doubt about it. Banner! Draped bust silver just doesn't show up very often!
