Well, thought I had found my first half dime. Was working an old clothes line (I never have much luck with those) and hit a jumpy signal. Open my plug and saw a small silver rim, much smaller than a dime. Thought for sure it was my first half dime! I removed the coin and wiped away the dirt to expose a very small, thin, British 3 Pence. Although not rare, considering this coin wasn't minted in the US, I can't imagine many of these being found in US soil. Still a pretty cool find! Next signal was a Good for 5 cents Token, which I was happy to find. Love those tokens!
Fooled by British 3 Pence!

For some reason, the old silver thrupenny bits were known as Joeys
