Couldn't get a Barber...how about a Cap (Pictures Added!)

I've never managed the old barber from CRH but got a nice surprise today at my dump bank. As I was leaving a teller told me she got something strange today that I might want. She hands me an 1834 Capped Bust half. It would have graded between VF and EF if it didn't have a small drill hole through the "18"...ah well still pretty sweet for .50! Batteries are dead in my camera but I'll add a photo when they are charged. Also bought a small bag of eisenhowers and scored ten silvers. Also got an entire box of log cabin cents. All in all a strange day for a small road trip around town! :thumbsup:

Nice find on the cap and those Ikes.

I think this wins for "oldest date found" :icon_thumright:

That's one awesome day. 10 silver Ikes would be a great day alone, let alone a capped. Hope the weight checks out.

That's an amazing and rare find! So rare, in fact, that I have never heard of one found by CRHing before.

Very nice find! I understand that in the old days, coins were worn on a necklace so that they would not be dropped or lost. Congrats! ffd

I've found couple %100 Clad halves with holes drilled thru them too.
