🥇 BANNER my best silver yet 1800 draped bust dime

[Tony12100]

UPDATE! NGC coin grade has arrived...AU details Stained. 2662135-001

So tonight after work I grabbed the 3030 and braved the tick and fly infested forest that I enjoy hunting. I invested in a head bug net. Great purchase it worked very well. So I got to detecting and it wasn't to long before I got a nice silver hit. Dug this awesome 1800 draped bust dime. Wow! I can't stop looking at it. Was a few other flat buttons and what looked like a worn to the flat draped half cent copper.

Beautiful coin.
I've managed only one draped bust (so far) but it's copper. I'm definitely not complaining though.

Congrats on an awesome find.

TONY.....This coin does have all the appearances of a legit US mint coin. All wear and extra features are in the right spots. I've looked at this for days now and compared it to known examples. The only questions are weight, and the "A" in STATES. From auction estimates I've seen....and grade you get......(and it should grade extremely high), 50-55 anyways, could realize $6,000-$8,000. But....it is ground found so they may take off for that. JR....or Davis-2 is an R-5. Truly I hope it works out. You, and everyone else on this site, has to realize that when there ARE known cft.'s of a particular coin, questions are always asked as to the validity of it. Just because it looks good.....doesn't mean it is. Half the people who made comments on this thread...."haven't got a clue"....quite frankly. GOOD LUCK and waiting to see the results. Hogge

And as far as the patina goes, I've dug silvers that looked exactly the same. Kind of that dull chalky look.

Exactly. Here's the back of my 1773 half real. It has the same dull, chalky appearance.

I was castigated when I doubted the authenticity of the "platinum pickle fork" (which I was correct about), but yet I see post after post here doubting the authenticity of this coin. Why is that?

 

[FreeBirdTim]

Let it go. Congratulate the man on his find and move on.
