Capped Busted on Copperhead Rd.

 Hello , I have been having luck detecting in old trails that lead to abandoned homesites ..Sun. Nov. 1-09  Rainy day here ,nice temp ,moist soil ,almost perfect conditions for searching around some of the old colonial crossroads back here in the pines of Jersey.. Working this early site for few  weeks now ,thought I should try this trail leading to it. After dozens of shotgun shell tops   and    buck shot .  I found the LC ,1819 ,   next a 1821 Capped bust dime  , last a  1833 capped bust half dime, must of been a spill , all  were found  within inches of each other , at 4-  5" deep .    Total :  1821 over 0 Capped Bust dime ,   1833  Capped Bust half dime ,   1819  Coronet Large cent      Update 11-5-09  ,I was told this dime does not exist and may be only a one   Thanks for looking, CMD     

Wow. Congratulations on some very old coins. Nice Digs !

CM, you are working one heck of a section of the Pines.  Your recent finds were enough to leave me breathless, but now you go out and recover one of the best pocket spills posted in a loooooooooooong time!  Keep on working those woods and I can bet you'll continue to shock us!

wow some nice stuff looks like you're in a good spot.

Now that's some awsome silver, Congrats! 

Awesome finds Diamond!  I can't find any info on the 1821 1 over 0....what's the approx value???  Great job!

One heck of a day there!  Would like to see what that dime actually turns out to be in rarity and value. The Red Book doesn't list it so it must be quite a rare variety. Keep us informed as that would be Banner I would Imagine. Not to mention $$$$   Congrats.........Hogge

Wow, wish I would be busted like that.  Super finds, congrats.
JDD

That must have been a VERY EXCITING DAY....I would of had to have someone slap me in the back o' the head.

You, my man, are a digging machine lately. The pines of SJ are producing the goodies in buckets. I only have one Capped Bust silver and you dug two in one day.

Kirk

congrats on those awesome oldies !!!

Holy Cow!!2 Capped in one hunt ans a LC too!!There are very many members on this forum that have never dug a Capped Silver and to get 2 is amazing.Big congrats.

wow --you had a very good day hunting

That's a day that I wouldn't mind finding 16 cents! Great coin finds!
Dave.

Steve Earle would be proud.

Holy cow!  Those coins are very nice!  Bust coins are the prettiest dang coins - I can't wait to find my first.

Jim

Way to go! To me, that's a dream day.

Awesome finds Diamond!  I can't find any info on the 1821 1 over 0....what's the approx value???  Great job!

 hard to say ,at this point,  the dime with the overdate does not exist in redbook, seeing things

 this post makes my chest hurt!!!!   nice coins     MR TUFF

after 37yrs. of detecting i am still waiting on my first capped bust. i came close last week with a 1841 seated dime. very nice finds.

Nothing wrong with those finds...would certainly make my day...

Sweet coins there

Very very nice.

VERY nice finds!!!! Congrats!!!!

Thanks to all for the comments    

     Fabulous!

Wow ... that's some nice oldies ... major congratz on those coin finds

Great hunt, would make me warm for sometime.

DOn't clean that overdate. I'd send it in and get it certified, then you could eventually put it up for auction. If it's one of a kind, that could potentially be a $100,000-200,000 (or more) coin at auction.

grats on one of the nicest spills i've ever seen

HI great finds but according to the R. S. Yeoman <Red book of 2009>
there was 1,186,512 of these dimes made by the US Mint.  There is
a Large & Small date in this Variety.


Over time the Mint did restamp some coins.

Dave

I hope you've done REAL WELL with that one !

Good luck !

3 once-in-a-lifetime kind of coins in one hunt! 

can you show a close up of the overdate dime cant see it in ther picture

 :thumbsup:Thanks

awesome finds, leaves me speechless, thanks for sharing and hh, my vote for banner is in

Great finds for sure!!! Any way you can give us a close up of the overstamp, large like the Large Cent pix? If you can please add it to your 1st post at the top so we all can see it right off the bat.

I agree, please give us a real close shot of the date

I have a few questions....
Out here in California, we mostly dont have the opportunituies to find old coins, nor is there any old civil war relics etc...
So what else is there for us? We have gold nuggets and lost jewelry to detect for.
So I detect to make money, yes it's fun, but still I do it for the cash.

What I want to know is...
I keep reading about you guys finding old silver coins and civil war relics etc.... but never is there any mention about money.
Is there good money to be made finding old coins and relics? Or do you guys do it just for fun cuz you are history buffs?

I do it to make $. There are a select few who detect for history and such. At the bottom,(my personal info), are some of my sales and finds. Good Luck  Hogge

Congratulations DD. This is one that HAS to be sent in for Certification. PCGS or ANACS is the only ones I would send this coin to.   AWESOME!  The Hogge

NICE Finds!!
That Dime Kicks A$$!!!
Congratulations On The BANNER!!!
HH!!

have you looked closely at your 1833? the last 3 looks weird to me an altho I couldn't find a overstamp for a 1833 half dime..I think there is a small chance of it being overstamp...

Congratulations DD. This is one that HAS to be sent in for Certification. PCGS or ANACS is the only ones I would send this coin to.   AWESOME!  The Hogge

ICG is a great one too.  In my opinion, they are second best to PCGS.  They are recognized in the coin community as one of the big 4. 

Justin

great finds diamond.  keep hunting that trail heavy,   good chance of more great old coins, and run low so you dont miss any gold ones,  hh

That last coin looks like an 8 over7.

Fantastic finds once again!  You are in a great area for those oldies. 

Some wonderful finds!

Awesome find!

Whoooa,I didn't even see this,until just now ,  I made a banner!!!  not sure what that means , but it must be very cool  .. a banner . Thank You!! Thank You All :

post a close up of the date ..........PLEASE!

HH 

post a close up of the date ..........PLEASE!

Hi, Thanks for your interest , it's been put in a security box .  I plan to   send it out for grading, soon as possible.  Let you know what happens. Thanks again,CMD

do you mean a bank lock box? if so why not go to the bank take your camera and take a nice macro close up of the date, several guys here would love to see it, especially if it is that rare.

Yes ,Safety deposit  box . Speculating possible rarity and  value but if you need a picture ,not a  problem..asap ..Are you a collector? 

yes I am a coin collector, as with many on here. But if this coin is that rare, I think it would be great to see a nice close up of the date, I am just very interested in seeing a coin that maybe a one of a kind item!

I understand. Can you see anything that looks like an overstrike from my original post picture ? Need  opinion.

I am no expert, but no I do not see an overstrike, that is why I would like to see a clearer larger picture, would be much easier to judge it then

Great finds, the original pictures you posted looks like dirt or corrosion, like around the stars. Would love to see a super macro picture. Grats on the banner find.

I really hope I can get some busted coins one day....    What kind of sites do you hunt ?     

Nice job,   

Keep @ It and HH !!   

Hey Diamond, great finds! Me thinks that may be a flaw in the metal under the date and not a zero. Would be nice though if it were a printing mistake, would be very rare indeed! I too dug a couple of nice half dimes in So. Jersey years ago. On a whim I had my son go back to the site and he also was lucky enough to dig one this past year. I am retired in SC for the past 15 years and really miss the Jersey treasure finds.Keep up the good hunting, I think your finds are many more to come in that area.Be patient and cover it slow.Best of luck and keep posting!!!
