Nice Capped Bust

[JBnNC]

A friend and I put in a long hard day yesterday at a Civil War site here in NC. We found a few CW relics but my highlight was a beautiful 1835 Capped Bust Half Dime. These coins are so small, I can't believe they didn't lose them all.
Also including a photo of my CW finds, always happy to find a friction primer and some lead.

Very nice hunt and the Half Dime is incredible.

I wish they all came out that way. That one looks like it was dropped on its way from the mint.

Gorgeous capped silver, still trying to check that one off the bucket list

Great looking silver congrats!
The half dimes are the same size 15.5mm as the Canadian 5 cent silvers 1858-1921, though the Half Dimes were a bit heavier at 1.35gr compared to 1.16gr for the 5 cent pieces.

Still looking for my first Seated Half Dime. Your Capped is in amazing condition. I'd have been dancing like a fool finding that beauty. Congrats.

Sweet coin! This is the year of the capped bust I think. Man I would love to find one of those. Great condition too.
