The Detecting Gods Smiled Again: 199 Year Old Dime

[Silvermonkey]

Greetings T-Net Nation! I've been on a roll of late. March ended on a high note with finding a very large, 100 Year old pocket spill. I'm very happy to report that the month of April is off to a a great start as well. Back in the woods this afternoon for a three hour hunt, not far from the location of that eleven coin pocket spill. My first solid coin signal of the hunt had a VDI of "88" on my Deus 2. That usually turns out to be a wheatie. Not today! I was thrilled to see a 1827 Capped Bust dime at the bottom of the hole.

In all my years of detecting, I have only found three capped bust silvers. This coin cleaned up nicely, and was demanding a close-up

She's in great condition in my estimation, especially given the age. The remainder of the hunt produced a 1900 Liberty nickel and a 1902-O Barber dime. Quite the trio of beautiful US coins!

I count myself very lucky to live in an area where this types of coins are still out there, waiting to be unearthed. Thanks for taking a look, and Happy Hunting to all!

[mikeinOC1]

wow that capped bust is a very pretty lady. betting would grade to very fine or above even as a dug coin worth several hundred i would think at least

 

[CRUSADER]

Pretty good grade 1827 from the ground, looks nice, congrats

 

[ToddsPoint]

Two varieties in 1827. Yours is the pointed top 1 and is the more common type. Still an amazing find in great shape.👍🏻 This book is several yrs old so prices may not be accurate.

Here’s a similar coin for sale on eBay.

“Only found three capped bust silvers” really stings to a guy who dreams of finding just one lol!
Really, that’s a beauty, congrats on your hot streak!

Thanks to all for your great comments. There is nothing that I enjoy more than spending time out in nature, searching for and finding little bits of history. What a wonderful hobby!
