UPDATED w/ VIDEO -- CAPPED BUST HALF DOLLAR !! from California no less!!

UPDATED with Video and Pics !!

Incredible night!! Mark and I have been hitting a Gold Rush Site and digging some nice relics. I got a sweet 12/46 hit on the CTX and called Mark over stating "You will like this one!" Knowing it had potential to be a great find, we videotaped the dig and what a SURPRISE when this baby popped out !! We went crazy as usual!! LOL

Digging any capped bust coin is rare here in CA (or anywhere) and to get a Capped Bust HALF is beyond belief!! We have dug more gold coins in CA than we have Capped Bust coins so this is a VERY SPECIAL find!!

Thanks for looking. I usually have a video to go along with our finds but this needed to be shared ASAP so the video will follow in the near future!!

I'm still on Cloud 9 with this one!!

Beautiful! Love that freshly dug patina. You guys went the extra mile and got it on video. That is not easy to do. Most times people do not even take insitus!

I've had a think & have now given you the vote for banner. I'm not sure how rare the actual coin is, but you don't see many posted, & even less in that eye appealing condition. Don't clean.
