BTV Digger New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 6:34 pm Dug a number of silver coins in the fields this year, but this was by far my best. 1820 bust dime, large "O" var. It's rather worn, but I'm curious whether I should get this professionally graded, or just put it in a coin sleeve or acrylic display container. I welcome your opinions. -John Report this Post to the Staff

BTV Digger New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 8:14 pm Thanks for the comments folks. Hey Coinfrog - Yeah, it was cleaned in the sense that I used a gentle flow of water to dab the mud off after it was unearthed. Nothing else. Otherwise you'd be viewing a pic of a dirt clod.
