1863 half
this one came from under a 1940's house in San Jose. for some reason this house was built on landfill dirt from the 1860's? A bottle digger told me and a friend the house was recently demolished. my friend(Dan) decided to go home, but i went there instead. only 3 good coins were found there: a 40something dime, an 1865 indian head, and my 1863 half.reverse
1866s half
found on monday night 8/20/01 at the corner of santa clara and 4th. asked the bottle diggers if i could search their dirt. found the half and an extremely burnt 1859 indian cent
