    Thats darn good for only detecting one year. Those small coins are easy to miss.
    Very nice coin!

    Well, that sure blows all of my half dimes outta the water. All four that I've dug (1 Bust, 3 Seated) were holed. In addition to that, the first Seated one I found was bent double, and the last Seated one I found was barely identifiable, it was so slick!

    All of mine have come in around the pulltab range. How about yours?
