It's Very Sad, But It Is What It Is

Larry called yesterday and wanted to go check out a new house site in a bean field, I told him it was cold and windy, but I would be at his place in 30 minutes.
We got to the spot, located the house site and in the first 20 minutes Larry had a very nice 1831 or 1834 large cent, I don't remember the date, before we left he dug a super nice 1865 2 cent piece, sadly it has a hole drilled in it. I dug the masonic pin, that I have shown, an 1893 Indian which I did not show, as everyone has seen those and then I dug the Bust dime, if you look hard you can see the outline of the bust on the obverse and on the reverse you can see some of the eagle and the shield. I can make out the number 8 in the date and that is all. It is a really sad Bust dime, but it is what it is............Lee

Still a great find regardless of condition. Not many of those are found.

I'm sure it meant a whole lot to the person that lost it !!!

Congrats !!!
