Although I find a lot of foreign coins every year since I'm a beach hunter down here I thought this one was special because it's a discontinued currency, is almost 50 years old and is a beautiful coin. I had cleaned it a lot to identify it before I took this picture.

A contemporary capped bust dime.
Found in a site I had been hunting for 6 years on and off,,,mostly on.
Had some nice detectors in there too,,,but the Nokta Relic detector is what found it for me.

Picking 1 favorite is hard as I have found a few very cool coins in 2016. I think this seated half dime wins because it is a coin I never thought I would find!

My best would be this 1835 half dime. Found at the site of Fort Atkinson. This is my oldest American coin and a bucket list being my one and only capped bust coin.
It was another one of the unusual situations. We have hunted the site for well over 30 years and I had found one 1839 half dime some 30 years ago and that's been it. Last year my buddy hit a 1841 seated dime and not 15 minutes later I hit this 1835 half dime.
I know for some of you lucky people finding a coin from 1835 is a fair find. Here in southwest Kansas, statehood in 1861, finding a coin from 1835 is very rare.
