Clayton Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well, a dime got me here. It is a dime I found on a plantation and actually I believe it was part of a buried teasure that I got to too late. TO make a long story short a couple of guys blew a hole in the river bank across from my grand parents homewhich is located on a plantation. There were always stories about a missing treasure and I think these guys found it because after they left my dad and I walked down the river bank and found a large hole and in the black lose dirt we found an awesome 1851 dime which was minted in New Orleans. Is it a rare find? What is its value? Clayton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostDutchman Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 If it spent some time in the ground it most likely has enviromental damage...some pictures would help you determine a value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
