1829 half dime!!!

[mainer]

Well Finaly got my scanner working again. And so excited to show everyone my latest find. This is my oldest silver coin to date. I have found one other half dime that was a 1835 and posted that here last year. I always wanted to find one and now I have two and could not be more excited. The cool thing about this one is that at one time it looks like it was used for a button. As on the back it looks like there was a shank that was broken off. Atleast thats what it looks like to me. It was only about an inch deep and was found at an old foundation of where a house once stood. Also got an 1865 2 cent peice an indian head penny and a barely recognizable sheild nickle. A great day for. Thank you for looking and good luck to you all.

I would say it was more likely part of a ring. I have found a lot of Indian Heads with the same type of solder on the back. Either way, terrific find! Nice old silver!
