I posted this coin in the today's finds section a few months back. Was dug in a pasture, along a spring, we found 6-7 other colonial coins around it, mostly brittish. Except for a 1796 I believe capped bust half cent.
Had no idea of the rarity of this coin at the time, but researched it when I got home. One of my best finds to date. 1804 dropped bust dime, only 8,265 were minted, and very few are known, or have been graded in the past. The coin is not perfect but for being a 220 year old silver coin I think shees beautiful. My buddy and I are sending some coins out together, he is awaiting for the paperwork to come in the mail, as neither of us has ever sent coins to be graded.
