Help to Identify

[pearson]

I found an 1863 half dime. I can't really find an accurate value of the coin. I also found a small, round belt buckle (about the size of a silver dollar) on the property of a home built in 1840. Can anyone help with info on either? Thanks!

Well the 1863 can't be a 63 cause it's a shield nickel and they went minted til 66. Can we see the back of the other piece?

Looks like a Shield Nickel, variety 2, without rays. Date looks like 1868. I looked in the red book of coins..lol listed in good condition, 20. Great find..

be2019 is right. An 1868 Shield Nickel with stars, not rays. It has draped garland above the shield, with the date below. Anywhere from $6 up to $15 in that condition. A very nice find
