I would send it for grading as it has both the first three numbers are the small date and the 4 is a large.......fantastic find...

Interesting, I didn't notice that on the date but see it now, thanks. Glad I was extremely careful removing the dirt for a grading.

That's a big silver, imagine it was in a pile of similar coins on a card table in a saloon once during a high stakes poker game, both players armed with boot pistols. Then once the game ended the loser fired point blank into the other guy's guts. He then took the loot and rode off on his horse, spilling several coins including this one during his mad dash. Then two weeks later the scoundrel was captured, hung, and interred in a shallow grave mere inches from the grave of his victim.

Losing that half back then would be like losing a $20 bill now.

More like $17.39, but your point is right on!!

Nice find Looks like the large date/small letters variety. Somewhere between EF and AU. This one sold last month for $330. Yours looks like it has more detail. Definitely have it slabbed.
