SWEET 1853 Seated

Two hour hunt after work, in the snow, was very productive. :grin:
Before digging I called the dime to my partner Merc.....but I called it a Mercury....thankfully I was off by a few years. :twirlingeyes:
The cuff link has lots of gold on it....I don't want to brush it. Any suggestions on cleaning? Thanks for looking, Drew
PS this new hole may have to wait as we expect 6 more inches tomorrow :white:usaflag::

Fantastic coin Drew, you called it. That was a nice little hunt. And a whole new area to explore. Great to see you finally listening to that T2. It's when i see you talk back that scares me lol. Just kidding. Sweet Dime!!
 
hey Drew great seated with arrows too :perfect10: ,is there a backmark on your cufflink if there is its more than likely a button instead . either some naval jelly or a little CLR will bring out the gold gilt but it looks like it has alot of wear in the middle and gilt around the edges ( typical for buttons) . congrats on a nice short hunt .

Oh man... the half dime is a very sweet find. She is in very, very nice condition. :smitten:
Congrats on the excellent recovery, and getting out in the winter. :clapping:
