Half Half Dime

[DirtDigler]

Found this one a little while back. Yes... it's a pity it's clipped, but at the same time, how many do you see that are halfed like this? Those in the know will be able to figure out the date, even with only an '8' showing. Because of he variant, it's got to be one of two dates.

Yup, it's the lighting. When I initially dug it up I thought, "OMG! I've shovel-cut the thing in half! Beeped the hole again looking for the other half. Then I saw how dirty the edge was and realized that it had been cut long ago.

Figured it was, nice old find with a story

Yes ! Very cool ,sheared, half dime . Plows are a field hunters friend . A harrowing disc is not so friendly on stuff lost in farm fields . Taco city when a disc nails something . I found a copper spoon stuck to my shovel point a few weeks ago . Checked the hole two times before I figured out the target was elsewhere.
