Mental Unrest -- Dime Roll Find -- 1837 Seated Liberty -- Pictures

[MentalUnrest]

I didn't think I could top my 1865 3 cent nickel I found a few months back, but I think this is one better. I saw the reverse first and thought it was a Barber. My most amazing find!!

1837 was a crossover year as it was the first year for the Seated Liberty and last year for the Liberty Cap.

Best to you -

Very nice find. It is almost faint, but even in G-5 shape, it is beautiful. I like both reverse and obverse designs.
For a 175 years old silver coin, it is in a decent shape. Looks like it circulated for at least 80-90 years.

And you even have the small date, which is more valuable.

Just imagine how many transactions this dime must have been used in. Crazy! Nice find!

That dime may have been carried in the pocket of a civil war soldier. Awesome find!

Some jerks might do volume and get a lot of silver, but this is proof that good guys find the good coins.
