LARGE O HALF DIME & CAPPED 5c an INCH apart...uh YES!!

Found these guys one inch apart and dug in the same hole...I couldn't believe it. I was not sure what they were but I had found a capped dime last summer and you guys educated me on how rarely they were found so I knew it must be pretty good. I did a bit of research on the web on the Half Dime and I think this may be what they are calling a "Large O" Half Dime....what do you all think? The other item was a full unmistakable silver reading and you can see what it was. I cleaned it up and it was full of what appeared to be gold foil....I assume that it was from cigs...not sure. It was marked on the bottom but I could not read it...something about Illinois or something...

Let me know what you think.

Peace.
Danny

Don't have my Red Book with me so I can't say for sure about the Large O variety.

Regardless... great finds!

Congrats!

Beautiful finds Denny!

Those are rare finds, especially because of their size. I was thrilled yesterday just finding a few silvers from the 40's, so I can imagine how you felt when you dug those up.

Yep...I thought it was so cool seeing two different designs on the same currency together and so very very old. When did the capped change to the seated?

Very nice finds ! According to the Redbook , 1840 0 with drapery - has a mintage of 240,000 - thats less than the

much vaunted 1916 D merc. (264,000) dont ask me why the huge discrepancy in values between the two.

Argentium.

Nice finds. The "o" half dime is the 1840-o, not a large "O". Still some AWESOME finds. Congrats...........Hogge The 1835 is Small Date, Large 5c variety.
