My oldest yet

[texan connection]

This is as old a coin as I am likely to get in this area, and my most exciting find yet. This was in a local but little hunted ghost town. I am so excited, Can any one identify this as large date or small date??

Nope, but nice find

I think I can make out a 1848 seated half dime and a piece of ceramic/china with a chicken or turkey on it. Older than anything I have ever found, Great find.

Edit: To be exact, SEATED LIBERTY HALF DIMES (1837-1873).

Nice keeper. I've found one here in Oregon. an 1867, and man does she have some miles on her.

That's an exciting find. Congrats.

Excellent job.....I agree with a few of the responses above....large date. I looked in my red book and they didn't make very many of those. Do you see a mint mark on the backside side above the bow? I don't see anything in the picture.

 

[texan connection]

No mint mark, but after looking on ebay it looks to be small mint mark (still undecided) as the others are impenging into the liberty.

Sweet!

If there is a mint mark it will be above the bow on the reverse side.
