Draped dime help

[Brink23]

Good morning, all and Happy turkey day!
i have been a member of this site for years and this is my first post. While I have found many nice coins, this is probably my best so I had to share with you gals and guys. Ill make the story short and sweet. My buddy and I finally got permission to hunt about 400 acres of farm. House was built in the early 1700`s and a Civil war camp (confederate) is in one of the fields we cant hunt yet (still soybeans). So there we are, 1st day and found the usual mini-balls and a few civ. buttons when I hit a strange, broken sound (explorer II) in the range of a button. I dug a shotgun shell about 12" down. So after I covered the hole, I swung over the hole again and there it was. In the same hole. 1801 draped bust. I have much older coins (even spanish) but this is by far my best coin. Anyone have any input on the grade?
I always look at everyones postings here and enjoy every story. Hope have enjoyed mine. Ill be sending it off soon....

Congrats on a super find, would love to get an early dime or half dime like that. I have the photograde book on hand, and a bit hard to tell on your details, but it appears to match somewhere between VG8 and Fine12. No idea on value, I do know of others who have sent their silver dimes or half dimes in for slabbing and despite them never cleaning them, they came back "Improperly Cleaned" go figure.

I would not worry too much if you do mail in, follow instructions on the websites of the company. Usually most coins just go first class mail, put in a little envelope, wrapped in tissue or something similiar and I have shipped back in forth between friends before using a standard sized bubble wrap enevlope. Insurance is your option, not really necessary, but to make you feel better and the USPS feel richer, if you do insure, do not go too high, not worth the money to do so and not worth the effort if lost to try and collect that amount. I would insure it for a small amount in your case, but check USPS rates.

Again, super find, early silver is soooo pretty.

Great find, I would have probably passed out next to the hole I dug. I always tell my wife that one find could pay off the detector.

 

[Sniffy]

I would "gobble" that one up for sure. What a coin! Dang, can't wait to unearth a dime like that!

[BobinSouthVA]

Wow that's a great coin, thanks for sharing. I hunt down here near Hampton Roads as well, and it's killing me thinking about what I may be missing depth wise with my current detector. Going to have to hit the same fields when I can finally pony up for a new minelab.

Congrats on a great find.

 

[Mach1Pilot]

Oh yeah, Banner for sure! (even if it knocks my half dime off the lineup )

Great find!!!!
