Found my first ver 1834 Capped Bust Half Dime. So excited. Not sure on grading of it. I am no good at grading coins unless they are mutilated. Lol. I know oictures are hard to grade by but feel free to ball park it if ya want. Not ever getting rid of it tho. Also found a buffalo nickel and a wheatie. Along with a bumch of new coinage. A neat copper post cap and a keyhole handle. But no key. Haha. A brass washer of heaviness. A play coin wooden token as well is what i think it says. Also a button i have no idea what it could be from. Any thoughts? Thanks for checking my finds out. Keep swinging and digging

Congrats on the Capped Bust Half Dime.
Very hard to come by.
 

LNGIV, first-huge congrats on that save...man o man...a lot of jealous ppl here, me especially. PLZ try to get some clearer pics up, there's a lot of meat left on that coin, I among others would love to get a good, focused picture of that unit. Again, congrats...beautiful coin n great save..Ddf.
 

Hopefully these pics are better

Congrats on the old silver! That is a bucket lister still on most of our lists. Mine for sure. Congrats!
 

Those things really are small. What a beauty. Nice find!
 

Thx! Yes, she definitely has a ton of detail left, looks great with the dirt in it, i wouldn't touch it. Thx for the pics...great save, Ddf.
 

That’s an awesome silver coin find. Congrats
 

I agree, from those pictures, it appears to be in the F15 to VF20 range, with a value of $90-$140, but an amazing find nonetheless
 

That button looks like a US Army eagle button. A better pic could confirm that ID. If you can read the backmark, a date range can also be established.

Congrats on the capped coin. That's a really sweet little find. I found a year ago, and it's the best the coin I've ever found.
 

A definite bucket lister for me too. Congrats :icon_thumright:
 

Congrats on an awesome find fellow Mass-hunter!

Congrats on that Half Dime. Yours is in very nice shape. Its tough to tell on the button, but am I seeing an Eagles wing towards the top right, with a shield in the center ? Could be Civil War.
