When I found this 1839-O half-dime in my backyard (after searching for 9+ yrs to find a coin out there) I was out of this world for the rest of the day! Not to mention I found my first round balls that day too. Dang that was a good day. There is just no way to explain the emotions I felt when I saw that coin in my sieve! The picture doesn't do the coin justice, its in bizarre condition.

EDIT: I WILL BE ADDING SOME BETTER PICTURES SOON

Even though it's only 1 Cent, I still like this over my silver dollars and white gold wedding band that are worth far more.

Here's my best find, also means more to me because I found it in my grandparents yard. Still weird to know how many times I've walked over it as a kid growing up, completely oblivious!
