Re: Dump digging again AND a 1854 Half Dime!!!!!!!!

Those seated type are hard to find! It's been a long time since I've even seen a Barber pop out.

The seated and Barbers are out there but on the scarce side.

Re: Dump digging again AND a 1854 Half Dime!!!!!!!!

Oh man, you gotta love diggin for bottles, it's almost as good as diggin
for coins. I love the seated 1/2 dime. My partner last week found a
seated 1/2 dime. I guess the partner's are the lucky ones. But I'd have
to say, I found a Flying Eagle penny the day before, so I guess he was
just catching up.

No to be a smart A_ _ or anything, but when you type your posts
please don't type to the end of the sheet. If you type about 3/4 of the
way across the page and return to the next line everyone can see
your post without trouble. Just a suggestion to everyone.

All the above posts fit rather nicely on this old monitor. Perhaps you can post a "screen shot" of the problems you see?

Hi Jim ,
On the original post, I have a hard time reading all of the post. I have to click on my mouse
to view the whole post. I could read your post just fine. Some guys I think type to the
end of the page and it makes it real hard to read. I have a 19 inch screen, so I think that
is large enough. I usually only type 3/4 of the way across the page, that way I know
everyone can read my posts with no trouble.

Anyway, I'm not trying to be a smart alec, just trying to read everyones posts easier.
HH, Ringfinder

Very nice 1/2 dime congrats.
 
Re: Dump digging again AND a 1854 Half Dime!!!!!!!!

Neat half dime! I love digging dumps! So much variety in a small area.

Dumps are like a treasure hunter's Wal Mart, lots of junk but sometimes a keeper will be found. :D

Nice half dime Jim.

Cool coin. Would love to find one of those. We were in Columbus(German Village) last Monday visiting an Uncle. Didn't have time to do any detecting but was tempted. Those parks there "hunted out"?

I wish I had a bucket full of half dimes and flying eagles. Just dreaming though. HH Burdie
 
Re: Dump digging again AND a 1854 Half Dime!!!!!!!!

Excellent!

Y'know, I have found three Seated half dimes over the years. One is dateless, but the other two are dated... 1854, just like yours! All of mine are holed, though.
 
Re: Dump digging again AND a 1854 Half Dime!!!!!!!!

Nice coin! Congrats! 8)
 
Re: Dump digging again AND a 1854 Half Dime!!!!!!!!

I love pontiled bottles and would rather dig bottles than metal detect.When I became disabled and out of work I had to sell my collection.It really hurt!I have one good bottle left.See the photo.
