1835 Capped Bust Half Dime!!! She's a Petite little thing but a real beauty

I went in to the woods again without my camera I rushed out the door for a two hour hunt before dinner to a nearby one room schoolhouse site and didn't realize til i was on site that the camera had gotten left behind. The last time i did that i missed photographing an 1837 Large cent coming out. This evening i swore if i got a solid 79 vdi reading that I'd mark it and run home for my camera.
I've pounded this site several times without even an Indian head to show for my time and i figure it must have already been detected hard. I went tonight thinking there was surely an elusive Indian head around somewhere! Well,no I.H. but this little sweetheart makes up for the times I've been skunked here.The Indian head in the first couple pics is to show how tiny this coin is.
I didn't get a picture but I'll never forget what this little piece of silver looked like laying in the spoil pile. I thought it may be a 3 cent piece til i saw that eagle!! Now it's time to really slow down and work this site over. Thanks for havin a look!! whooo hooo!!!!!!

get them to encapsulate it & grade it for you, i'm pretty shure
it's a ERROR COIN well worth having it

In my oppinion you have an XF Grade sweet heart that is irreplaceable , that red books for $150- $200 but as a metal detectorist i would only part with it for $500.00 and I guarentee I would regret it every day, $500.00 comes and goes real quick but trust me you want to hold on to this prize winner!!!!!!! Just my oppinion

SWEET COIN !!!!!

DONT SELL IT!!!!!
GOOD JOB I BET YOU ARE REALLY HAPPY AND ITS PROBABLY HARD FOR YOU TO STOP LOOKING AT IT!

Re: 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime!!! She's a Petite little thing but a real beauty

Oh YEAH!

That's what it's all about, my friend!

One HECK of a silver coin for you today!!


I know there are both large and small date varieties for this year--but I don't have the book of varieties on me. The fives mentioned above I'm pretty sure are normal for the Capped Bust half dime. This is a large date coin.


Wow. Seems like you should leave your camera behind more often.




P.S.--Please don't--we wanna see!



Regards,



Buckles

Thanks Scott,you're right.It's in a coin holder sitting at the base of my keyboard next to my magnifying glass and I'm just smitten with her I've checked completed 35's on ebay to get an idea of value but have no intentions of parting with her,Jerry
