Seated Half - Seated dime - 1867 shield nickel sandwich!

[Scrappy]

I went for a hunt today, and wandered over to the "new" section where I hadn't hunted much. Glad I did

I got a choppy high signal on my CTX at a very shallow depth 3". Thought it was a shoddy clad schwag quarter, but when I dug in I couldn't find the darn thing. Rescan and it's still there. Finally at 7" down I see a coin pile and thought clad again. but then I noticed the big coin and thought hey, maybe this is standing half... look at them Sa'miches! pried 'em apart.

I saw the writing and said Barber Half baby! And then... yeah I wiped it, so what! 1871-S Seated Half!!!

Cleaned up partially, will clean more tomorrow. The shield nickel is a 1867 without rays. back together again!

I'm very excited about this find. Aaaaaand the Seated Half puts me at, drumroll...100 silver coins for the year. Phew!!!

I love this hobby. Happy Hunting everyone!
