Most worn out half dime! But i saved it

[Oldrvrrat57]

Went on a short walk on one of my older sites yesterday and came home with the most worn out seated half dime I've ever seen! I can make out a 3 and a couple of stars! It's paper thin can't believe I even found it!

The good news is because of the arrow next to the date, you can actually date it. It's an 1853. Unfortunately, you probably can't determine which mint it came from.

Congrats! I take old silver in any way, shape or form LOL

That silver is well travelled that for sure. Probably in circulation for 50+yrs/or fell victim to some other factors.
Good save, probably as thin as a Trime

I found a merc like that, pretty sure it had been corroded by being embedded in concrete
