New cornfield with new friends produces 1798 10 C !!!!!!!!

treblehunter · Jan 12, 2017

My head is reeling, I had 5 guys come hunt with me late this afternoon, they all work and hunt at nights allot. We were all meeting up at a cornfield a friend gave me permission to hunt. I went an hour early with Joe (from yesterday) 3 pm. We hunted until the other guys got there at 4. At five the only coin I found was a 1967 Wash Quarter. I was not feeling it. I talked with the other guys and we decided to move to plan B. On the ride there the new guy Jim tells my buddy he found this "silver coin" I don't want to offend Jim. He found it five minutes after they got there and never told anyone just because he didn't think it was a big deal. Now understand, people are all different, he has shared with me he has a very extensive coin collection. So Value is a very relative thing. I'm just glad I'm part of this.
Please help me ID this coin, I'm going to post the pix I have. Hopefully Jim will be able to send me better pix tomorrow. I took the first two in the dark at the second site of my other friend, freehand. I found the only other two coins of the night, the clad Wash and a Indian at the second site.

Enjoy the pix

That's an awesome draped bust dime you got there. The denomination was not put on the coin but it is a nice early American dime. A beauty.

So awesome!! I hope it is the 8 over 7 variety.. 13 stars so he is half way there.

Oh yea, the Indian ain't bad either!! That Silver though would be like the ultimate Coin find to me. OLD American Silver!! Pretty certain Ben Franklin Dropped it!!

Whoa...AWESOME Draped Bust dime!! I can't believe it has survived all these years looking that good..according to Jackelope's price guide, that is a VERY valuable find! I am in NO WAY an expert, or even a novice at grading coins..but I would guess that to be no less than EF...and if it's the 8 over 7 variety...!!?? Your post made my night! Thx very much, I'm looking forward to seeing some more pics of it...thx..ddf

Thanks for everyone's replies, I repeat I did not find this Jim found it on my site/permission, I just met him yesterday. I
I've said it a million times. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some people like colonial, some like Merc dimes, and others like Civil War. I think Jim is starting to get a little excited, look at this NGC link, because I think this is the coin. I need some coin experts to chime in. Read the description, it says "only three dozen known to exists. And look at the example.

I was trying to get better pix, I will put them up if I get them. I'm very happy he found that coin, congrats Jim!

I posted this on the coin forum and please request someone with coin knowledge to ID this coin proper for me.

JackalopeZL1 · Jan 13, 2017

Pretty sure it is identified now? This is great, I can't wait to see what it grades and what not, I just wish the process didn't take so long..lol I just wish you had those Morgan's in you pocket when he showed it too you!!
