1876 quarter 1 inch deep

Congrats on a seated quarter, still have yet to find anything seated, must have been a rush finding that! Crazy how some very old items can be so shallow, and modern zincolns sometimes 8 inches deep.

My oldest is an 1859 Indian Head penny, which oddly enough, was my first Coinstar find. My oldest find with a detector is an 1865 Indian Head.
