[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7846695, member: 10461"]Just a fairly typical low-grade "Baby Bustie", from the first year of issue for this, the Capped Bust type. I once found an 1829 like this (except holed) while metal detecting the site of an old meeting house in the mountains of North Carolina. It was shockingly shallow in the ground (which seems to be the case with many buried half dimes, maybe since they were too small and lightweight to sink very deeply into the soil). My detector sounded off with a "pulltab" range signal at half an inch deep, and since the target was so shallow, that's what I expected to find. Instead, an 1829 half dime popped out of the grassroots, and I was stunned. But I digress. This is not a dug example- not by [I]me[/I], anyway. It merely looks like the one I found (only without a hole). Anybody know the Logan-McCloskey variety?
