    It's bad luck to have one of those in the house. If you want to mail it to me, I have been trained to properly dispose of such coins.

    Thanks for posting the pictures. I just wanted to see some old silver coins, the older, the better.

    No, I am not, at all, confident in the attribution. That's what the coin was labeled, and it was given to me as a gift.

    My oldest US silver coin was an 1800 Bust dollar, ANACS VG8, for which I have no pictures.

    The oldest US silver coin I presently own is, I believe, this 1829 Bust half dime I found while metal detecting in North Carolina.

    My oldest presently-owned silver coin overall (but not the oldest I've ever owned) is this Corinthian stater, circa 345-307 BC.

    My oldest dated silver coin was probably this 1505-KH Hungarian denar.

    My oldest silver would be some Roman coins, but this is my oldest US silver:

    That one has the perfect CircCam look, and for some reason, I've always had a thing for 1812 halves.

    As to 1794 half dimes, well... that's not a league I get to play in. Wow.

    @orifdoc - your avatar is familiar from Collectors Universe. ("BryceM", if I remember correctly.)
