Went out today and dug this on the very first hole. Was in an area where dirt had been pushed over an embankment. I think this may be one of the best coins I have ever dug. Ive dug a lot of large cents us and colonial but not many old US silvers. I'll take it !
Any guesses on what you think it would grade?

Looks nice, but I don't see a denomination on it anywhere. Is it a quarter or half dollar?

That’s gotta be a half dolllar. Simply amazing, I never see those posted, and the condition is just ridiculous. BANNER
 
OMG!!!!! My favorite coin that I’ve been wanting to BUY for so long and YOU FOUND ONE!!!! BANNER. I look at those half dollars and dollars literally every night and yours has great detail. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart ♥️

Half Dollar. Its denomination is stamped on the edges.
 
That is one heck of a find. Beatiful save. Your season is now complete. Cery nice condition as well. Half dollar draped bust off the buckest list. Lol
 
An awesome early half dollar you have dug there.
 
Less than a million minted. That coin , in POOR condition is worth $195.
I would get that coin graded and slabbed.
Big congratulations and Banner.
 
Never had a coin graded which company is the best? PCGS?
 
Last I heard, PCGS was the preferred service.

And BANNER vote here.

Nice find . As far as grading I wouldn’t bother. If your going to keep it why waste the money. If you do get it graded it will likely come back as genuine because of ground action. This grade unless it is a very rare coin may actually hurt retail value. Enjoy it ; it’s a great find . As for your question both NGC and PCGS are equally respected.
 
Holy cow. That's a damn nice find! Huge congrats to ya!
 
Well done amazing find
 
That is freaking incredible. I've never seen a draped bust half on here. That is a once in a lifetime find. Banner!!
 
Absolutely amazing coin. XF at least (IMO) and if you didn’t wipe it much and just blow it off lightly with compressed air you may have a shot at avoiding a “details” grade. Stunning. Banner easily
