My first Bust Dime, a 1833 & the typical trash & junk

[Joe Dirt]

Hit an old home site that was relatively clean compared to most I've been to.. after 1.5 hours & about 30-35 trash digs later I dug a 1833 Bust Dime at 6-7", it's not in the greatest condition but I've never found one before so I love it!

Bust dimes are wonderful in any condition.

Great find. Got my first in January after 20 years without a Bust Dime. Mine was worn smooth. At least yours has some detail to show. Well done!

It maybe a little beat up but still a great start to the Bust collection, now you have a target to beat yourself

Thanks Buck... I think this dime caught some buckshot or else a very small BB. Between the last 3 in 1833 & the first star there is an indention from a very small round object. on the back it's right where the "O" is in United States "O"f America & you can see the O looks funny cause of this.

Yes I do! Thanks!

Like I posted above this dime was possibly shot or at least caught some buckshot at some point in it's life.

Ya it's chewed up alright & I guess if I had a choice Id take a chewed up one with some detail over a worn smooth one. This dime looks to have been thru hell & back, was even most likely hit with some buckshot.

Nice bust dime. After 40yrs. still looking for my first. Congrats.

Thanks! Gotta keep on keeping on! Here is a better one for ya.. I've never found a Merc Dime, finding a Bust before a Merc is kinda crazy IMO!
