Only one coin hunting yesterday............but a good one!!!

[Ia.FurTrade]

Only my second day hunting this year.....Hunted & old town site along the river that is now a corn field. First two inches frozen then un-thawed eight inches & solid below that!
Also found three buttons & half a dozen musketballs. One flat button had an "Aaron Benedict, Extra Gilt", backmark (1812-1823).
Not bad digs for Iowa!!

Thanks for looking!

Congratulations on a great coin find ! I am mystified by how deep the rim is on the obverse from about 8 O' clock - to 1 O'clock if
it were a clock face - compared to the reverse - ?

Me too, Argentium.....the reverse has about 1/2 the rim not there.(and not just from wear)

I was wondering about the rim, too. The whole coin looks a little odd to me...

Nice old coin. Great shape other than the mystery rim.

Nice capped bust dime. A capped bust coin is still on my wish list. Congrats.

NICE!!! It looks like an uneven planchet strike. (the planchet had uneven thickness when it was made prior to striking) Congrats and HH!

Nice coin. Appears to be a Davis-4. 99% sure of variety. Wouldn't say it was necessarily an error, probably just unequal pressure when it was minted. Nice find! Hogge
