A couple of keepers from the past few weeks

Hi all,

Here's a couple of keepers I dug from the last two weeks. The capped bust dime is an ironic find, since Jeff posted the exact same coin just recently! How strange. His is in better shape, but I'll take it - my fourth for the collection. Also nabbed Vermont CW/Militia and Dumbartonshire military buttons which were nice finds. I unfortunately dinged the IH at 11 o'clock, but she's a keeper in her condition - plus it's an 1864L variety. I'll get around to posting my large coppers soon - quite a nice haul on those this year. Thanks for looking!

John

Awesome finds! Seems like everyone is finding cap bust dimes except for me! Waaahhhh! The IHC is a real looker too. Interesting color. The buttons are day-makers in their own right. Congrats and happy digging. Dave.

Fantastic finds for sure! Lady liberty on that capped bust sure looks a bit peeved! Aside from her expression, all 3 of those finds are in amazing condition. Congrats!

Sweet coins! An Indian that cleans up like that always puts a smile on my face.

Dumbartonshire military button from the mid 1800s era. Thanks!
