capped bust!

[mainer]

Hello fellow T-neters. Got out today to a new foundation I found yesterday. Alot of growth, but got to hit the front part for a few ours. They cut the wood off a few years ago, found the capped bust dime less then an inch deep. Its a little dinged up on the edge (not from me) but I will take it. Its my first capped bust dime. Also got a tag of some sort. It has a 1 and underneath it has 183, any ideas what it went too? Going to post it on the what is it forum aswell. Thanks for looking.

Well you wanted to get a Bust coin and now you have a very nice one. congrats!! Can't offer much on the tag, one of a zillion that are found, could be one of many things, maybe someone will nail it.

If you want to ID your dime, this site is what I used to attribute the varieties of my Bust Half Dollars. I did a quick look and yours is closest but not sure due to possible angle shot of your photo, to the JR-5 Common variety 1830/29.

http://rob.com/russ/collection/2100.html (this one shows the JR-5 one) look on the Reverse to ID it, not the Obverse, see how E PLURIBUS UNUM lines up with the letters above and compare, also one thing that might be different that I could not tell for sure is the closeness of the arrow point to the last A in AMERICA, if that matches exactly on spacing than fairly certain it is a JR-5.

I thought it was a 30 over 29

Great Job
Not only is that an awesome type coin to find, it is in really good condition, can't tell from your photo but anywhere in the VF-AU range and that is great for a coin that old.

Congrats on the Awesome coin. The other looks like a clipped edge plate. Look on the back for solder marks where the hooks attached. It also may be a cow tag.
