<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aimzb, post: 945411, member: 26587&quot;]First off, I am very new to coin collecting and my collection is quite meager at this point.&nbsp; But, I do find it interesting and love the &quot;thrill of the hunt&quot;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have question about a coin I found several weeks ago (and the coin that got me interested in this).&nbsp; It is an 1809 Capped Bust Half Dollar.&nbsp; A fairly common coin (for something that is 200 years old), and this one is pretty worn.&nbsp; But, it has a couple of interesting markings on it and I can&#039;t find anyone locally that knows what they mean (or if they actually have any meaning).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the right side of the Eagle (the Eagle&#039;s left) in between the crest and the eagle&#039;s left wing there is an &quot;S&quot;.&nbsp; Opposite that &quot;S&quot; under the eagle&#039;s right wing there is a &quot;C&quot;.&nbsp; I am pretty sure they were not marked on there any time recently as the right wing of the eagle is almost completely worn off and the C right under it is almost completely worn off as well.&nbsp; The S is fairly worn also and has a good deal of pitting within it.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll attach a couple of pics.&nbsp; It was hard to get anything close up because my camera wouldn&#039;t focus.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any ideas?&nbsp; Thanks so much in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
