Nice!

I found an 1840-o and it came out of the ground looking brand new, much like that one.

Took it to a coin shop (well known) and they said it's only worth melt value and they would pay $10.00 for it. They said it's too corroded and warn. Also, without that scratch it's not even worth anything. Very discouraged!!! I see the same dime on ebay that are slick and have been graded and people are bidding on them. They said it's way below Fine.

Just had to post, that guy at the shop is a ( well known nut) the o tells all keep this one I have seen two and know he would not take $400 for his, I was with him when he pulled one up.

Good find I'am still looking for one.

Melt value for a dime is way under $10! I would want to keep it If I found it anyway.

...that is not uncommon for coin shops....never sell to one until you get several offers or have it slabbed.....%99 of em are crooks

Listen to kruger and got2dig........They won't steer you wrong....................HH

As more of coin collector than a metal detectorist, I will tell you one thing, do not sell that coin for $10. Put it on eBay if you really must sell it.

Very nice find! I have been lucky enough to find a few seated myself.

finding seated coins are few and far between at least in my neck of he woods.finding an 1843o in any kind of shape is great yours looks a lot better than most i have found.i think that the value would go up in time plus you get to show it off while you wait.this would be a great addition to anyones collection. congrats on an awesome find.
