1831 Capped Small Dime....FABULOUS!!!!

[DannyBrooks]

Woo Hoo. This is the first way cool coin that I have found. Natually I assumed it was a buttton and then saw a bit of bling.....then looked at the date....1831....10c amazing. Relatively low mint strike of 700K, I think, ....and in amazing condition. What do you think Buckle Boy?....you were right.

Here's what Buckleboy thinks: This is an AWESOME FIND! Well done! You know, that dime was probably lost and then driven over by wagons. One of the 1700's Half Reales we got out of our last site was like that as well. I'm assuming it came up in the middle of a bunch of flat buttons? Nice work, buddy. Next find from that site should be a Large Cent.


Regards,
