🥇 BANNER 1792 Half Disme!!!!!!!

[Marc in VA]

Today was the highlight of my 22 years of detecting. My buddy Dale and I went relic hunting today. We hit a nice cleared site and began finding both union and confederate relics. After awhile I got a signal that hit like a bullet on my Explorer. I was surprised to see a silver coin in my dirt pile. At first I thought I had dug a Spanish silver but after looking more closely I knew I had something very rare. A couple years ago I dug a 1916 D Mercury dime but that doesnt compare to this 1792 Half Disme. Here is a little history of this coin. There were 1500 minted and then Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson took them all to Monticello and then dispersed them into circulation. There are but a few hundred in collections now. This is a day I will never forget nor will ever top. Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Marc,
While your coin may be the same age as the 1792 Irish Camac Half Penny token I dug last week, it certainly doesn't wear a beautiful patina as my copper did...NOR did it take a boat ride over to the USA like mine did.....NOR did it carry the "personalized" touch of having someone punch a friggin hole in it like mine did....
What's the big deal?


(BTW, this is all done jokingly)

Awesome find, and truly a once in a lifetime item.

Can we see some more (better, closer) pics? Please?
