First Capped Bust, First Half Dime!!!

[Captain Caveman]

I had another good day! My first target was a 1905 IHP. Next I dug 2 Wheats 1920, 1953, and a Memorial. Then the fun started! I dug a 1903 V Nickel followed by a 1907 Barber Dime and the medal looking thing. Last keeper of the day was my first Capped Bust coin, my first Half Dime, a 1837! It's in OK shape other than the hole! I was a little surprised that I found it because it was up and down in the hole, not flat.

Any help on the medal would be appreciated. The front says American Radiator Co at the top, and North Birmingham, Ala at the bottom. On the back in small letters, it says, General Metal Crafter Co, Chicago, Ill. I don't know if this was a medal or something else.

Anyway, thanks for looking and here are the pics!

Congrats on your first Capped Bust coin CC. That is one that is still on my list. I believe the Radiator item is an employee or advertising pin for the company. That s a nice find also.

Superb hunt sir! Oh that capped coin has really enflamed a jealous streak deep within my heart. Ouch!

Thanks Loco! It's kinda cool to hear your jealous of one of my finds. Normally it's the other way around!

Thanks ScubaDetector! I noticed the spot that looks like it used to be a pin. I wish I could find out more about it. Google has been stingy on this piece.

Great hunt!, capped bust is numero uno on my bucket list, congrats! !!!

Thanks cjon! Coins have been falling off of my bucket list lately. I hope it continues, but it will have to slow down soon.
