Retake of recovered 200 year old lady

By popular demand, retakes of my find from Bellamy Road. Not right side up this time. Hopefully clearer. 1805 draped bust dime. It is the 5 berry variety.

That's the same year Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean. The majority of the United States was still uncharted.

Bellamy Road has been around since the 1820s. Most of it is a dirt road. Started as a foot path and was widened. I found the coin not too far from a water source. Hard to get back in there. Will be hunting for more!

I didn't expect the wear on it like that....surely not from the ground or elements. It has a ding in it which makes it a little bent. It was only about an inch deep. Very dirty and dark. I think somebody dropped it in the early 1900s. Could have been someone's lucky coin. Who knows?.
