Capped Busted on Copperhead Rd.

Hello , I have been having luck detecting in old trails that lead to abandoned homesites ..Sun. Nov. 1-09 Rainy day here ,nice temp ,moist soil ,almost perfect conditions for searching around some of the old colonial crossroads back here in the pines of Jersey.. Working this early site for few weeks now ,thought I should try this trail leading to it. After dozens of shotgun shell tops and buck shot . I found the LC ,1819 , next a 1821 Capped bust dime , last a 1833 capped bust half dime, must of been a spill , all were found within inches of each other , at 4- 5" deep . Total : 1821 over 0 Capped Bust dime , 1833 Capped Bust half dime , 1819 Coronet Large cent Update 11-5-09 ,I was told this dime does not exist and may be only a one Thanks for looking, CMD

Re: Busted on Copperhead Road

I have a few questions....
Out here in California, we mostly dont have the opportunituies to find old coins, nor is there any old civil war relics etc...
So what else is there for us? We have gold nuggets and lost jewelry to detect for.
So I detect to make money, yes it's fun, but still I do it for the cash.

What I want to know is...
I keep reading about you guys finding old silver coins and civil war relics etc.... but never is there any mention about money.
Is there good money to be made finding old coins and relics? Or do you guys do it just for fun cuz you are history buffs?

I do it to make $. There are a select few who detect for history and such. At the bottom,(my personal info), are some of my sales and finds. Good Luck Hogge

Re: Busted on Copperhead Road

have you looked closely at your 1833? the last 3 looks weird to me an altho I couldn't find a overstamp for a 1833 half dime..I think there is a small chance of it being overstamp...

ICG is a great one too. In my opinion, they are second best to PCGS. They are recognized in the coin community as one of the big 4.

Re: Busted on Copperhead Road

do you mean a bank lock box? if so why not go to the bank take your camera and take a nice macro close up of the date, several guys here would love to see it, especially if it is that rare.

Re: Busted on Copperhead Road

yes I am a coin collector, as with many on here. But if this coin is that rare, I think it would be great to see a nice close up of the date, I am just very interested in seeing a coin that maybe a one of a kind item!

I understand. Can you see anything that looks like an overstrike from my original post picture ? Need opinion.

Re: Busted on Copperhead Road

I am no expert, but no I do not see an overstrike, that is why I would like to see a clearer larger picture, would be much easier to judge it then

Re: Busted on Copperhead Road

Great finds, the original pictures you posted looks like dirt or corrosion, like around the stars. Would love to see a super macro picture. Grats on the banner find.
