That is a beautiful half EJ. I bet someone was really pizzed when he found out he was missing a half dollar.

Thanks Larry. I was really shocked finding this It was about 20 yds from an old road that was the main route between 2 villages during the CW. Ive been a bit lucky finding old coins around my CW sites and so have others on the forum. Like you probably, I was thinking how much money that 1/2 would be worth in today's dollars for a solider (possibly) back then ?? Then it had the string hole so that the person couldnt lose it. ??? Go figure. We find so many 'dropped' bullets 'round here that i sometimes wonder how the heck they ever fought any battles at all. cch.

Thanks. I've noticed that several of us on this new CW forum have posted a few seated coins recently. That was my first seated half ( i was pretty excited) and kinda wished someone hadnt put a hole in the head of Ms Liberty.

Thanks Tom. The silver was a very unexpected surprise for Hank and I. My vids are running a little behind. I wanted to get this one out to take my mind off the home repairs needed due to the flooding. Hopefully today i can switch from the removal to the repairing phase.

I'm also glad to see everyone is safe. Material things we can fix and replace but our true treasure as we all know is our love ones. Pace yourself in getting things back together and as always be safe. Tom
