The half dime looks great. Someone lost it the some day they got it from the bank in 1854. Congratulations.

Wow! I think a navy blue background would bring the detail out even more on that coin.
Excellent steady, gentle hand in the cleaning of that beautiful coin.

Did you find the 1/2 dime as shown or did you clean it somehow? Looks like M.S. in the pic. Really nice find I know you are proud. I am for you. D.D.

Thanks so much for the kind remarks, I need to buy me a good camera as a friend was showing me what his could do and took these photo's for me. The coin has had no more than a soap and water cleaning it came from the ground in this condition I wish I knew of a way to make all my silver look as nice but alas I don't.And to AMC Rules ....I pick up my explorer Friday
I am like a kid at Christmas and can hardly wait. Thanks again for taking a look and hope you all find ythe big one soon!

Hey Jack, my first post on this part of T-Net. Just had to say that that coin is in AWESOME condition. Thats about as good as you will get from the ground or above the ground without having to pay the big bucks. Great find!!! And I know many more will come from your great area once you have that explorer mastered. Jim
