After a good rain, I found this!

After a good rain the other day I decided to go out with my f75 and this is what I found, also got 4 civil war bullets there too. After finding an 1840 O seated liberty half dime I never though I'd find another half dime. 1835 cap bust 5c. coin, small date and small 5 on the back, I'd like it better if it didn't have that hole punched through it, the detail in it is as good as it gets, its a keeper in my book!

Awesome find.....

What a nice coin!! Too bad they had to try and make a necklace out of it.

Your on a roll and throwing 7’s. They say good things come in threes so be expecting another one soon with a holee or no hole it’s a beauty!

You know, that almost looks like a bullet hole through the coin. I've punched a few quarters with a .22lr and it's very similar, especially with the top edge flared outwards like that...is the coin slightly bent one way or the other at that spot, or is the hole flared out of one side? Hard to see in the pic...if so, I'm going with a bullet hitting that...

Nice, Congrats!!!

Very cool! I thought bullet at first glance but then maybe punched with a square nail.

That would have been a tiny bullet. Smaller than a .22. That's a half-dime. Square nail hole seems likely. I think stringing the coins was popular back then.
