PRETTY SWEET CAPPED BUST HALF DIME TODAY!

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

made plans for George(coinnut) to come down my way and look for an elusive mountain top cellar hole. at 7am like 2 billy goats we made the climb and a climb it was! never located it so we headed back down to bottom and hit 3 colonial sites that fastfrank and myself had worked in the past.today tagets were poppin! amazing what some rain will do!
frank met us at the lower sites at 9am.everyone got some keepers! George got a 1807 draped bust half cent.
my day was pretty awesome! 1 lead poker chip? has beeded rim.2 large cents.1829 matron head,looks like a worn 1798 draped bust.then i got a 1911 barber quarter and the highlight to end the day was my 1st capped bust half dime.she still has mint luster around the stars on obverse.2010 redbook lists it at $250 in AU.
i'd say it's close to AU.what a day thanks George & Frank for another great hunt! always a pleasure to hunt with you both

I like that capped but have to say I like the flowing hair better. Maybe its something about an American coin from the 1700's. You have some real nice dirt to dig in.

HEAVYMETALNUT, you're being too modest. Those are BANNER finds in my book, and I'm putting my vote on it.

That 1834 half dime is PRIMO. And a 1798 Large in the same day? AWESOME!

Really. You need to toot your own horn a little more. Or people here on TNet are gonna think these are (ho-hum) everyday finds.

That 1834 is killer! That site looks sweet. Seem the sites I find lately are so weeded up it's a real pain in the a$$ to deal with. Good job sir.
