I found a Capped Bust Dime

4dcr · Nov 27, 2011

I went out twice this weekend to 3 local parks which I hit regularly and get quite a bit of clad and an occasional silver.

I was having a good day with clad and just dumping it into my bag to go thru later.

My sight is not as good as it used to be so I check everything with a magnifying glass at home and WOW was I surprised a 1830 Capped Bust Dime.

This is most definitely the oldest coin I ever found and a keeper for sure.

I wish I knew which park I found it in, they are all old and large parks.

BTW I found a total of $7.93 in clad.

Dude, that is awesome! Never found one of those. Found a Draped Bust earlier this year, but still no Capped Bust.

Way to go! Find that site and pound it!

Congrats on an incredible find! I'd love to some day find an American silver coin that old. I know what you mean about the vision thing. I have ended hunts early after finding a great coin, just so I could rush home to check out the date under a magnifying glass.
