found it New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 10:07 am Hello All, I am new here. I found this coin while walking in a historic cemetery yesterday. I believe it was buried and the top soil had eroded down enough for me to spot it. Can anyone offer me advise on grading it? I spent some time trying to figure it out but it seems tricky because some areas are more worn down than others,especially on the reverse. I believe it to be a small date Capped Bust Dime 1821. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 8:11 pm It's genuine. Being in the ground for that many years, tends to distort the devices sometimes. I have a Large Cent like this. VF details/cleaned/corroded swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

muddyknuckles Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 8:24 pm The face just shows pitting from years of being buried. No expert but what I have learned for Counterfeit Detection from this site is to study the date. The date here matches size shape and position looks good to me. Got me jealous.
