Found this one in my own yard yesterday afternoon. This yard (previously old farmland) has given me quite an array of coins over the past year...this is the best one yet. Can't believe how small this coin is.
Any guesses on what this coin would grade at??

I know one thing, I am really loving this Explorer SE pro....it is quite a machine!


Thanks for looking!

Great find!! VF-20 to XF is how I would rate it and a 1833 1/2 dime retails for $95-$155. So, hows them apples....you are a winner!

:thumbsup: Oh Baby that is sure a Looker!! Gotta put my shades on just to look at her! 8) Congratulations to you, they just don't come out of the ground like that every day! :thumbsup:

I have been detecting for thirty years, but when I see a sweet coin like that it still gets the blood flowing.

Sorry, I don't know much about grading but that is definitely one sweet looking coin.
I would have to guess it would grade fairly high. Congrats! on an awesome find.
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~
 

I would agree with VF condition, if not for some rubs it would be XF, but that's to be expected. It's a beautiful specimen and a banner find for sure. I love it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

What a beauty!! Thanks for the pics, and congrats!
 

Sweet find man! ive found some good stuff, but not one of those yet :thumbsup: :thumbsup: you get 2 thumbs-up
