wtg......willy? How bout a story on your 3 1853 coins in your first post. You disappeared for a long time after that post and I never saw the story to it, did you make a reply that I didn't see?.........NGE (T)

Nice.

I'd like to hear the story as well. Might be too busy on "the other site" to answer any questions and such...

FYI, the dime you found was minted after 1859, as the legend "United States of America" was placed on the obverse beginning in 1860. The legend replaced the stars on the front of the coin.
