1836 Capped Bust Half Dime

[Cheap Thrills]

Another mind blowing hunt !! :shocked04: thumbsup01 thumbsup01 It's amazing how many different Type coins you have found . I guess it would be safe to say you could cover a wall with them .That is one collection I would love to see . :clapping:

I am trying to decide if your posts are encouraging or discouraging me. :thinkingabout: I'm encouraged to know there are still a lot of old coins to be found, but discouraged to know that I'm not the one finding them, at least not to the extent you are.

I have long thought this myself rofl. The problem is I live in the same area as Angel, we probably hunt the same parks....but my finds are NOWHERE like his >{

I just don't get it >:{.....my wife would say the same thing lol


Angel you amaze me with your finds! :shocked04:

I would love to see an article written by Angel on How I research and find old coins..lol

Great job, as usual Angel. Dang you make me jealous sometimes.

Congratulations on some great finds, Angel :clapping:

I'm curious... do you plan on cleaning the Half Dime any further or are you going to leave it like that? For me it would be a tough call, but I would probably attempt to get the tarnish off and the natural silver color back if I knew of a very safe way of doing it.

I have come to one conclusion thou, these beautiful coins cannot be found while sitting in an airconditioned house. 8/

I would stick with encouraging. lol They are out there, Frank, just waiting to be found. Thankfully such finds are no limited to just one relatively small geographical area. :happydance01:

I am pretty sure this is in the top 5 on everyones want/bucket list... and not to many peeps bring one to the light of day...

Angel... mg: mg: erfect10:

You daMAN!

Thanks Paul! It was definitely the type of coin I have been concentrating on finding this year. :yes: Now if only a Bust quarter would show up. lol

Awesome finds, as usual, Angel!
It's not the wand...it's the wizard.

Thank you John. :embarrassed:

Thank you Dave. thumbsup01 She is indeed a beauty. :loveit:

Angel, again and again...fantastic finds. I can't tell you what I would give up for any bust silver. the Kg III looks really good. Congrats on all those finds.

Hang in there... you guys have been hitting the right type of sites, so one may surprise you. :happydance01: Just make sure to video-record the dance. lol

I'm just on a good streak Rob. :happydance01: It will end. :crying02: In the meantime, I'll enjoy the ride. :happydance01:

Great job, as usual Angel. Dang you make me jealous sometimes.

I would give it a try, but my dry writing would just put readers to sleep. lol Still, it probably would be fun to try and put something together. :thinkingabout:

Congratulations on some great finds, Angel :clapping:

Thank you Angie! eace:

I think I will leave her as is. :thinkingabout: I do try to remove sulfide that is thick, but in this case the tarnish on the coin is just a light coating. If I do decide at some future time to remove the tarnish, I will use the method I posted here. :yes:

:shocked04: That is just sick!! WOW!

They really should be showing themselves more. :thinkingabout: Imagine coming across a coin spill of Capped Bust half dimes. :drool: An ambulance would be needed. lol

:shocked04: I missed this one! Way to GO!!! It is in such good condition :shocked04:stretcher: :shocked04:stretcher: :shocked04:stretcher: I'm curious too- if you're going to clean it further... Now that I found a rare specimen (1838o seated dime), I know I should be careful about cleaning. I just rinsed mine w/soap-n-water and put it in a coin sleeve. I wanted so bad to use some baking soda-n-aluminum foil to 'shine it up', but I showed restraint lol

The light film of tarnish does not bother me, plus it would be best not to try and clean it. I would have done so had there been a heavy layer of sulfide on it. :yes: I don't think you should clean yours, especially with baking soda. It's great as is. :yes:

That's a beautiful coin and I am sure you were happy to bring it to the surface. Capped Bust anything has to be a tough find, and a half-dime even more so. Congrats!
