🥇 BANNER 1796 Draped Bust Dime

[462]

I haven't posted here in awhile but I had to share this find. I finally found my first 1700's US silver coin and it's all I could have ever hoped for and more. It's a 1796 Draped Bust Dime JR-6 variety with visible die crack through the date. I found it yesterday, about 4-5" down at the edge of a corn field. As soon as I saw it I knew I had something special.

Congrats on an fantastic coin recovery. You don't see early US silver very often. Is that a die break on the obverse side of the coin on the date? If so, is that of particular interest to a someone who specializes in that series? Awesome!

Thanks! Yes it's JR-6 variety, they have multiple die cracks with the most noticeable being the crack across the date.
