(Rare) 🪙 Draped Bust Dime, 1 Reale, KG III, Mercury Dime, several buttons and other coins 🧱

[☠️🏴☠️SCOLINO🏴☠️☠️]

This new farm field permission turned out to be pretty good! Was able to dig a nice variety of buttons and coins. With some effort, I was able to revive the copper coin and I.D. It. The draped bust Dime sure looks like it exchanged many hands back in it’s time.

Looking at theDraped Bust Dime and the amount of wear it makes one wonder how many years it actually was exchanged before being lost.
From digging silvers that predate other coinage, and the wear that they had on them this dime must of been handled for 50 yrs or more before it was dropped.

What a sensational hunt! The draped bust dime is the star find in my mind....even in its worn state. Simply outstanding!

Good point, for I have personally seen archeologists use one worn out early half cent to establish and support the occupation of a site without accounting for the wear on that coin, which was probably lost some 40 years after minting. There is a term that is used in this type of analysis, called coin ATTRITION and is good info for those who find coins and use them in determining site age use....too bad that archeologist was so close minded.

Fantastic find on that DB dime. It looks like the 'small 8' variety.
If so, you might be looking at a value with five digits !!
Don.....
