Tiny Silver coin..what kind??

[zaxfire69]

I dug this coin over looking a waterfall on a creek yesterday. The area is very old in Mississippi. This coin is a dime or just a shade under dime size. Weighs 1.3 grams and is so thin I didn't think it was a coin. It is silver. Just not sure if it could be Spanish, Native American or American Help.!! Thanks.

Could be early Canadian nickel - tiny little things.

but, more likely a half dime - from coinfacts.com "Seated Liberty half dimes of 1853 to 1855 display arrow heads at the date to indicate the coins were struck of the reduced weight of 1.24 grams (or 19.2 grains. Earlier half dimes have a weight of 1.34 grams.) of .900 fine silver. The arrow heads were dropped as a design element beginning in 1856 although no further weight change took place in the denomination."

Half reales are the diameter of a dime without the rim, and about half as thin. That's my bet.
