First half dime!

[NorILdigcollector]

I went back to the Large Cent site for a couple hours this afternoon with the two oldest kids. It was a pretty slow hunt overall with a lot of trash although I did like the cast iron stove foot. The very last signal of the day was the half dime. I thought it was a toy aluminum coin at first. My daughter was really excited to find a couple of square nails. I wish they were as exciting to find for me since I seem to find so many 😁

It almost looks like toy money but what a great way to end your hunt! Your daughter must be very patient...

That is one sharp looking coin!

That is one sharp looking coin!

Thanks. All I did was wash it off with some water and a soft brush and it shines like new.

Great looking coin find NorColl.
Seeing it pictured next to the penny, shows just how small this coin really is.

Congratulations on the half dime they are hard to come by! A few years back I hit a field that produced 6 half dimes in 1 hunt 2 1854 and 4 1856

Great find, in what looks to be incredible condition! I would love to someday dig one, or a coin that old. Congrats on the bucket find! This is why we keep at this hobby.
