CAPPED BUST HALF DIME & 2 CENT

[Fattony315]

Went back to the old farm with EVOLUTION yesterday. After great finds last week, I was ready for more. The day started out slow. Got a hit on the m-6 around mid-day and out of the hole an old pocket watch. Keep hunting and next a little bell. Move back to where an old home site was and on the back corner a solid hit at 67 vdi. Dig the hole 4 inches deep and I see roundness in the hole. It looks small and silver. Capped bust 1/2 dime. she is 2x holed but still a great find. Still working around the old old home site, I get a 77 at 2 inches and in the plug another coin. . It's smaller than a LC but bigger than a small cent, 2 cent. What a day. . Turns out the 1/2 dime is 1832 and the 2 cent is 1864. Both are firsts for me and on my find list. Later in the day I picked up a button and the insides to another watch. thanks for looking. HH.

My first silver was an 1832 Half Dime. It's my avatar. Congrats! Mine is holed too!

Nice finds! Love the little half dime even with the two holes. So you got a two holer and a two center

I have been looking for those coins, I have a list a made when I first started Md'ing and in the last 2 weeks I've knocked a bunch off. (2coins knocked off 4 things). I would like to find a few more before the years over. Thanks

You had an awesome day Tony. I couldn't believe it when you called me over and I was seeing that half dime.... I knew what I was seeing... just had a little trouble believing it as neither one of us has ever found a half dime before. It's a shame that sucker is holed (twice) because it looks like it had pretty good detail when it was dropped. And then you find a 2 center.. You're putting me to shame... Congrats on all of your firsts... (pre 1900 silver.. two center... half dime... capped bust coin) I'm sure that farm is still hiding a few goodies.

A couple of beauties there for sure ! You don't see many double holed coins. That is a cool piece! Congrats.

Two holes in that half dime, maybe it had become a button. Congrats on hitting a few more goals. You and that M-6 make a great team.

Very nice indeed, wonder if the half dime was made into a whizzer?

 

[CMDiamonddawg]

capped bust coins are always a welcome find , wonder if it served as a button replacement at one point coin finds
