I found a coin last week with a bunch of
others... I found an 1832 capped bust half dollar dime in
awsome shape... I also found an 1820 capped bust dime
"holed" from square nail that I have not posted yet I
am posting a pic of the 2 coins from the same
field about 10 ft. apart... they are exactly how I
found them no cleaning... the pic shows a big diff. in
the 2 coins what it doesn't show is how shiny the 1820
is its as shiny as a "mirror" I can clearly see my
reflection in it the only coins I have that come close
to it are proofs... could this 1820 dime be a proof?
on the pcgs website it says that there may have been 5
proofs so even with a hole its in great shape and is
extremly rare if its a proof? please take a look at
the pic and let me know what you think the
possiblities are... jd

Hi JD and welcome to our CC family.

Your dime looks like it was polished before it was lost in the field. This would make sense since it's also holed which means it may have been worn as a necklace or as a watch fob. This is the large 0 variety. Sorry, but I don't believe it is a proof.

Your Half Dime looks like it has some very nice detail remaining - just darkly toned. I would say it has EF to AU details. It looks like there is some minor rim damage. I would put the value of this one between $75 and $100 depending upon the eye appeal in-hand.

These are excellent finds! Thanks for sharing them with us.

i would have to agree with susanlyn9 the coin does look polished and since it has hole it definately makes "Cents" that it is shiny
