    Wow! That coin has some great detail on it Calabash. That's a nice little saddle strap guide you found as well. Keep digging the goodies!

    You guys and these half dimes! Aggg! You make me sick!
    I just can't seem to get my coil over a half dime to save my life! I've got the entire family. Half dollar, quarter, and a few dimes but no half dimes. And none with arrows either.

    Ok. I'm done ranting.

    Sweet half dime! Oh look, it even has arrows! Awesome!
    Congrats!
